Hello, a coworker was wondering what D REPL would be the best choice - 
i.e. well-maintained, good quality etc. Thanks!

The only one I can think of: https://github.com/dlang-community/drepl "Works on any OS with full shared library support by DMD (currently linux, OSX, and FreeBSD)." Err, I should pull some PR's got a few there and last change was 2+ years ago.

Btw. Did someone already try to combine drepl with jupyter-wire [1]. Jupyter is easy to use and (at least for Python) a good interactive development tool. (I know. Common Lisp users would argue that slime+emacs is better) [1]: https://github.com/symmetryinvestments/jupyter-wire

What are the limitations on getting this working for Windows exactly? I hear full shared library support and I’ve heard long-standing complaints about Windows DLLs, but I don’t really recall. Is this something that can be a project people can donate to?

I've asked Mike about this, given the amount I could put towards it, it wasn't enough given nobody was in mind.

What you or anyone can do is seed a bounty on the Task Bounties page and anyone else who would like to support it can contribute to it. Maybe it will reach a level that will motivate someone to take it on. There's also the possibility of contract work from the HR fund. If anyone interested in taking it on would like to propose a clear path to get the job done, then perhaps a contract can be negotiated with the foundation. As always, all that's missing is someone willing to do the work, for pay or otherwise.

Thanks, Rikki. I've supplemented your initial donation with a bit from the General Fund. https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/ODcyMDE=

As far as I remember, what's really needed for full DLL support is a druntime.dll. And this probably requires to finally specify and apply the export attribute: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/archive/DIP45.md I think this was Benjamin's latest update on the issue: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/p2r892$ftu$1 digitalmars.com?page=1 -- Johannes

I included export as one of the issues that needs to be resolved for proper shared library support. The two I gave, won't get us to 100%, and may need to be paid out differently based upon how things break down. But it should get us close to usable everywhere :)
