OK. It's cool. I asked Walter some time ago if this will happen someday and now I am glad that DMDScript is available for D. But I could not find how to use it from D. Program.compile() and Program.execute() are all right but how to call custom D functions from the script and vice versa? Without this I can't think of possible use of the script... Printing lines with script? Anyone knows something about this?

It's not hard. I just need to put together a page on how to do it.

Hi!

Sorry if I don't know well the subject, but this means that DMDScript is suitable for any kind of scripting? I mean, it's not tied to web apps etc.?

Byez!

Yes!

Nope. It's a general purpose programming language.

Cool cant wait!

So we can't extend a closed source D application with DMDScript without buying a license ?  Just wanting to clarify ( this little bit might put a serious hurt on widespread use ).

That's correct. It's free if you want to experiment from it or use it to create free, open source applications. It's also free if you want to "try before you buy". You'll know exactly what you're getting and if it will work for you (it's hard to get any better than that!). But if you want to use it commercially, it's fair to charge a reasonable fee for it. After all, if you had to pay engineers to write one from scratch, it could easilly cost you a half million bucks. The quality of DMDScript exceeds that of other commercial javascript engines, hence it is very reasonably priced, and would not materially affect the bottom line of any serious commercial product.

BTW, most GPL software is completely closed to commercial use. DMDScript is not so restricted.

Good! What I was looking for: since it's tied with D, I don't have to wrap
something else:)
I'm slowly becoming a digital martian:)))))

So I can use it in Arturius (free utility)?

It's also a common way to do business in the Open Source world. Qt, Coin3d, mySQL, ReiserFS and eZ Publish are licensed equally (or similarily in the case of mySQL). If you completely own the code, you can release under as many licenses as you wish.
