Wow, that's awesome. D SDL running as client-side web.

I hope the class issues get fixed because then I may never have any need to use Haxe again.

A few years ago, back when Flash was still relevant, I did something that required Flash and PHP, so I used Haxe. It was far better than using Flash/PHP directly, but it's still nowhere near as nice as D. Now I'm finally doing D (with Vibe.d) for server-side stuff, so if I ever need to do a Flash-like thing again (which I'd obviously do as HTML5 at this point), then I'd love to do it with LDC+Emscripten+asm.js like ABA-san is. Obviously wouldn't have the speed or low-level benefits of D, but it would be far more pleasant.

If Mozilla does well its work on asm.js, when you are using floating point values it may become faster than D compiled with DMD (as LuaJIT is) :-)
