The shebang I used: #!/usr/bin/env rdmd
I was visiting Dlang Tour and that's where I've got an example of
shebang usage, directly from there:
https://tour.dlang.org/tour/en/welcome/run-d-program-locally#/on-the-fly-compilation-with-rdmd
The shebang you suggested actually works perfectly:
#!/bin/dmd -run
"And indeed rdmd won't call your script if it doesn't have the
proper extension."
Then why does Dlang Tour includes shebang: #!/usr/bin/env rdmd
Instead of the one you mentioned, that is fool proof. (#!/bin/dmd
-run)
Is that an error/mistake in Dlang Tour guide?
