I agree to start the project could use bindings to reduce the 
work and easy maintain.
MXFlutter translate TypeScript object into dart vm object, they 
are also choice this way.

If the project is stable and a lot user, it worth to migrate the 
framework into D.  Because this way could provide best 
performance compare the a VM language. The snap UI experience 
will be a big win for D on mobile platform.

Is there any example project for this kind attempt?

https://github.com/lc-soft/trad translate javascript into c, but 
not a cross language solution.
