It's pretty much like Robert says: original  source for DMDscript is for 
D1 and wasn't update for quite some time.
Still the D2 port should work with no problems. And even though I did it 
in the first place, the only benefit of it right now is that it's 
written in D and thus could be integrated with D projects slightly 
better. Still if you are up for some hacking give it a try.
As for speed, yeah, it's something like around 20-200x slower at various 
workloads (e.g. numerics in JavaScript and such), so wouldn't recommend 
if you have performance in mind.
