I need an interactive environment where i can call d functions on the fly using a good scripting language with decent scientific plotting libraries (e.g. python).
Is there any way to call d functions from a shell (Ipython or similar)? I looked in to pyd but it seems quite out of date.
I wholeheartedly recommend the excellent LuaD. It is an active project, the author is StackOverflow user and he is also hanging on the official D IRC channel irc://irc.freenode.org/D .
