hello Walter and everyone, Im a big fan of Javascript as a language and Ive been quite frustrated that all the Javascript compilers only seem to be implemented in browsers and I can only use html as an I/O interface to the language. Bartosz Milewski informed me about your compiler, I quite like it and I think it could become popular for general use scripting, like how Python, Ruby and Lua are for everyday use.

Id like to make a request, Id like to use Javascript to do simple graphics programming with a library like SDL or SFML. I think you could popularize your compiler and the Javascript language in general if you could create bindings for these libraries. And since DMDScript is embeddable compiler, perhaps you could create C++ files that register Javascript functions to your compiler.

Javascript is a fun and powerful language that really needs to break out of its web programming confines.

thanks

This is something i was looking for too. I found at least 3 implementations that can be used (standalone) from the command line.

1.    Spidermonkey engine (Original, developped by Mozilla)
       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpiderMonkey_%28JavaScript_engine%29
       https://developer.mozilla.org/en/SpiderMonkey

2.    The JSDB Project
        http://www.jsdb.org/

3.    The JSLIBS Project (has an SDL Interface)
        http://code.google.com/p/jslibs/

The last two, are based on SpiderMonkey.
Latest SpiderMonkey stable release (1.8.5) implements ECMA 262 (Version 5).
Has a JIT compiler.

Of course, that would be great if DMD Script does all of this. But that
would
be a lot of work. But then, it might be also a lot of fun.

thanks a lot for those links Akakima, jslibs looks like they will give me a good start
