You can write executable “scripts” in C by JIT compiling them with the shebang.

Tcc has the `-run` flag for easily doing this with a normal-ish shebang.

With a nasty polyglot preamble of C and bash at the top of your file, you can do it with any compiler.

That's a good thing but due to D syntax it is very intuitive and pythonic due to the default GC, in addition to the UFCS feature that I've mentioned compared to C with its agrarian syntax. That's the main reason we have C shell scripting in the form of csh with more intuitive syntax for example foreach loop that D has already supported [1].

But if you insist, D now supports and can compile C language that you can perform using rdmd [2].
