Also, what is the advantage using D for this? Could this be D's niche market? It looks really exciting.

  They’re not the best metrics but the related Spasm toolkit had surprisingly many stars and forks for being D. This was the more interesting tool I discovered here, rather than the JS game port to D, where honestly the impressive part is already done in JS. So yes it got me thinking the same thing. https://github.com/skoppe/spasm https://github.com/skoppe/spasm

    > had surprisingly many stars and forks for being D. Github stars are an extremely weak signal. Some D users have actually said to me that they feel slightly confused that their projects have more stars than the actual language implementation on github just because of hype, for example.

  > Could this be D's niche market? Maybe it could be, but our goal is not to have "niches". If anything, our niche is making people who would otherwise not be, productive enough to deliver what they want to make. D isn't a gimmick language, it's a Programming (with a capital P!) language.
