Are there any D scripting engines for use with D?

Lua and python are already covered ([1] and [2]), for the D code 
I don't think so. While you can always call rdmd from D to 
compile and execute something in a script-like fashion it may not 
provide the level of integration you are looking for. On the 
other hand you should have a look at Adam Ruppe's script language 
that is written in D, largely benefits from CTFE but can be used 
at runtime too and has a JS-like syntax achieved by simply 
defining new D types (IIUC). That way you get a well-integrated 
easy to use language (although not quite polished). [3]
