Seems like it is a very nice way to get into openGL from D.

I generated the bindings for all the latest versions of the
various specifications.
Does anyone have any tutorials that use this library
effectively?
There's this
https://github.com/Dav1dde/glamour
But not sure what it is(diff between it and glad). Says it's a
wrapper to OpenGL... but does it use the glad generated
bindings?
It looks like I'd prefer this to derelict because it seems like
it is a automatically generated binding... which means future
extensibility and no "extra" stuff.
Would be nice if it works with dub. How could I use it easily
with dub as a local library? (create a dependency from a local
file location)
Thanks.
I preferred glad over derelict when I did some opengl work with D
because it was easier to just include only the functions I
wanted. Derelict made much bigger binaries, not sure how much in
part that was to the whole kitchen sink approach or the derelict
utility itself.
However, both are great and work fine. Their analogues in C/C++
would be function pointer loaders like glew for derelict or
opengl binding generators like glLoadGen(and glad, it's
multi-language — I actually preferred it for C++ too) for glad.
Bye.
