Yes and no. My "projects" that have D code are not a collection of source code that gets built into artefacts and possibly installed -- the ideal situation for Waf -- they are collections of programs each of which is compiled and run independently -- a hard problem for Waf, but a sweet spot for SCons. > > Someone, definitely not me (*), will have to contact Thomas Nagy to > > ask who to contact to get D tool development. > > Being busy with other things I put my waf-list subscription into > web-only mode. > > > I try and avoid using CMake, so have no idea what the state of play > > there is. > > OK. > > > (*) Thomas has banned me from the Waf Google group so I am not able to > > monitor or contribute to the Waf eco-system.

I think Thomas took exception to me doing a compare and contrast of SCons and Waf and then contributing to the SCons project as well as the Waf project. I surmise that he thinks I am SCons advocate trying to destroy Waf. However as he won't communicate with me via any channel I have tried, I don't actually know why he has banned me. But being banned from a Google group completely excludes you from any access. I had been getting email from the group though, but when I emailed Thomas about something, he cut that off as well. Basically it seems he wants to exclude me from any form of interaction in the Waf community. I keep thinking of "why cut off your finger to spite your nose". > I've noticed, when suggesting some improvements to Waf , via IRC, that > he tend to be (sometimes) a little bit non-flexible, but > banning... :-( I've given up worrying about it. All the clients I have moved to using Waf just don't bother to contribute back the things they develop for their Waf use as a form of existential protest.
