It was working last year, when I got it up on Dub. Dmitry ported it to D2 a 
while ago.

There has been a lack of interest in it, and so it doesn't get exercised much. 
But it is a fully functional implementation of Javascript. For anyone wanting to 
add a scripting language to, say, an IDE written in D, it would be ideal. It 
would also be ideal as a starting point if one wanted to invent yet another 
scripting language.

There is not much to document. Feed it a Javascript source file and it executes it.

It has in the past. Probably something trivial.
