Hi all. What do you about WinRT? I think this new APIs could be a
very interesting point for D... they are open to any language and
i think that D is perfect to work with them. What's your opinion?
Best regards
From what I understand, WinRT is based on COM. D already supports COM,
so it might already be doable by declaring the right interfaces as
derivatives of IUnknown.
I suggest you give it a try.
That said, the automatic reference counting they added to WinRT types in
Visual C++ won't be available without compiler support (but you can do
it manually), and neither will the compiler-generated reflection data
(you'll have to generate it yourself).
Doesn't the garbage collector implement reference counting or similar
when implementing from IUnknown?
