DQuick is for D applications, scripts are just for interfaces.

Interfaces have to be separate from the application to be edited 
by artists or other non developer persons.

Here is a link to our model (QtQuick samples) :

The main advantage of D is the traits that simplify the binding 
of D objects to the script language. Qt use moc to do this and 
it's really intrusive, because it extend the c++ syntax. Our 
solution is directly based on primitive types of D. Instead of 
QtQuick if DQuick isn't ported to a platform, it will easier to 
use the native GUI library for this particular platform. With Qt 
wrappers have to be create to convert types (QList => 
std::list,...)
