Is gl3n not a direct replacement for glm?
From the very top of the gl3n github page:
"OpenGL Maths for D (not glm for D)."
So, no, it is not. You might want to start with the glm
documentaion [1].

Thanks. Bummer. I really like gl3n, but glm/opengl is used
almost exclusively in all the modern opengl code (tutorials)
I've seen, so this might be a deal breaker. As the author of
Derelict do you have any ideas of how much work is involved
with getting glm to work with D?
Want to do a DerelictGLM :)
I bought your excellent book as a xmas present for myself so
looks like I'll be reading chapter 9.
gl3n has most features of GLM just the syntax is different and a
few other things.
gl3n then operates on row-major matrices only (Extrawurst wanted
to work on a column-major version), which isn't a big issue for
your usual GL, you just need to tell OpenGL that it is in
row-major format when uploading it.
iirc GLM is a header only library so you can't simply interface
it from D you would need to port every function, that's what I
basically did in gl3n only that I started from scratch and made
my own API etc. So you can use gl3n as a glm replacement it just
has a different syntax and a few semantics are different.

Regarding some functions not showing up on the website, that's
because the ddoc generator doesn't want to go into some static
if() or version() blocks. A known bug.
