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.

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!

Nope. It's a general purpose programming language.

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:)))))

Cool cant wait!

 Licenses are
 available for purchase from Digital Mars for use in commercial, closed
 source applications.

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.

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.
