dshell

dshell is a command-line shell designed for the D programming language. It provides an interactive environment for executing D code directly. dshell allows users to type D expressions and statements, which are then compiled and run by the D runtime. This makes it useful for rapid prototyping, testing small code snippets, and exploring the D language's features.

Key functionalities of dshell include support for D's standard library, user-defined functions, and classes. It also offers features commonly found in interactive shells, such as command history, tab completion for D identifiers, and error reporting. The shell's interactive nature helps developers quickly verify the behavior of their D code without the need for a full compilation cycle. dshell can be particularly beneficial for learning D, as it provides immediate feedback on code execution. It is typically invoked from the command line and presents a prompt where D code can be entered. The output of the executed code is then displayed directly in the terminal.
