If only D had some way of... I'm not sure what the word is... I 
think it is "compiling" the source code into a form that can be 
run without a preexisting development environment.

I'm not sure it is even possible to run without getting the user 
to install a VM or something though. I've heard rumors that 
there's this thing called "native code" and even "static 
linking", whatever weird black magic that is, but I doubt D 
supports any of that either.

So yeah...



seriously just offer a binary download next to the source. 
Problem solved.
