Can D be Interpreted?

[Rémy Mouëza]

To execute a D source file as one would do with a Python script, you can 
use rdmd.
On Linux, you can make your can directly execute D source file by 
changing its mode (chmod u+x file.d) and adding a "shebang" first line 
like:
#!/usr/bin/rdmd --shebang -I/path/to/libs -L-L/path/to/libs -L-lyourLibName

Don't forget to add the "--shebang" option or your file won't be 
executed properly.

There also have been several projects to make a D REPL, the most recent 
one being dabble: https://github.com/callumenator/dabble but it only 
works on Windows. The principle is to compile the code one enter on the 
REPL line and dynamically load it.

Burton Radons had written an article on how to dynamically load some 
Windows executable code, if you are interested in how this works:
