maybe it's fast/good enough for interactive use, to learn D syntax, try 
snippets of code, etc (basically some of the things the Python/ Scheme / 
etc REPL are good for).

I think I have misplaced that word 'interpreter' or maybe not. What I 
meant was an interactive environment, much like you have with 'ghci' for 
Haskell. So I guess that abbreviation you used, 'REPL', is more like it.

I can see why some would not care for such a thing, but I think they 
shouldn't be the aim at all if we're talking about usage of a D REPL. 
But they may be the aim if it's about the creation of one :) But 
certainly they would at least understand the advantage of one?
