It certainly is, though it does bring up the problem of what to do if
the game scripting is editable at runtime. Does that mean we'll need to
bundle a D compiler with the game? Doesn't seem practical.

Do you expect users to be modifying the scripts in the retail release?

Surely scripting is still for what it has always been for, rapid iteration/prototyping during development.

Hot-plugging DLL's written in D sounds pretty interesting to me :) .. You only need the compiler as a part of the games asset-pipeline, and can static link when you release for extra FPS's!
