2 flaws I've found so far:

you can't name data, such as:
hello db "Hello, world!$"

and, do register names really HAVE to be upper-case? Why can't they be lower case, too?

Add a : after the label:

    hello: db "dddd";

Because it has to tokenize like the rest of the D language, and keywords are case sensitive. It makes it a lot simpler.

this still doesn't work:

asm
{
hello: db "Hello world!$";
mov AH, 0x09;
mov DX, hello;
int 0x21;
}

error: undefined identifier 'hello'

any suggestions?

char[] hello = "hello world!$";

asm
{
mov AH, 0x09;
mov DX, offset hello;
int 0x21;
}

Still doesn't work:

char[] hello = "Hello, world$";
asm
{
mov AH, 0x09;
mov DX, offset hello; // <- error here
int 0x21;
}

still doesn't work

error: bad type/size of operands 'mov'

too big of a memory address?

DX i think is a 16 bit register, and addresses are 32 bits. try moving the address into a 32 bit register like eax
