This is awesome stuff, thanks for pushing ahead with it!!  Keep this up,
and I might actually decide to use your game engine for my projects. ;-)

The big question I have right now is, what's the status of interfacing
with web APIs such as WebGL?  How much JS glue is needed for that to
work?  My dream is for all of the JS boilerplate to be automated away,
so that I don't have to write a single line of JS for my D project to
work in WASM.
