obj file for mixin?

[kenny]

darn, it's not everything I hoped for, but that is still REALLY COOL. 
Thanks!

A game could create bindings to the core, and then use DMD to compile 
all of the files before the game starts. A whole AI could be written 
using d's "scripting" ability :)

That's really really awesome. Why doesn't someone do that?

For my purposes (web development), it doesn't satisfy everything that I 
want. I still need another layer of abstraction, but that does give the 
ability for the content server to have extensions compiled on the fly 
(without reloading the servers -- just the d files) AWESOME!!!

Thanks again :)

Kenny
