nothing really complicated for now. simply used it in some utilities
where i need something more than a config file. conditions, loops, some
data processing. it looks like a mixture of D and JS, and i like it.

it surely won't do as a scripting language for realtime videogame, but
i'm not writing videogames now. ;-) and it works ok for adding some
easily modifyable logic/processing to various software without
resorting to external libraries and wrappers like LuaD (which is great
too, by the way).

yes, it was very straightforward. besides, i like to write scripting
languages myself, so i enjoyed reading the source code too. but i did
that after i used the engine several times. ;-)

what it really needs is more documentation and samples, so people can
just throw it into the project and be happy. and to give some language
description to software users. i mostly using it by myseld, so didn't
bother to write any dox though. ;-)

it was great, but in the end i removed opDispatch from var, 'cause it
confuses me. i'm not a fan of opDispatch anyway. ;-) but it was very
funny to show some people D code with your jsvar and listenting how
they don't want to learn just another scripting language. and then
compile the code with DMD to confuse them even more.
