I think the sad truth lies in the shy comment at the bottom of the page:

4) I cannot get theD implementation 
<https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb/blob/master/patmch/patmch_v1.d>working. 
Rhino works for theJavascript program 
<https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb/blob/master/patmch/patmch_v1.js>, but 
run extremely slow.

Having fixed a couple of huge bugs in it, I can't really blame him. Also 
see the version of GDC, just no comment.
And BTW I'm putting together very similar test bench, but I'm obsessed 
with having different regex _engines_ not different _languages_.
