Hadn't heard of this before, I'll have a look. Btw I don't see
any mention of D on their home page.
It is very nice. D seems to work OOTB.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be learning things, but time is
limited and I'd rather practice my C++ or D than learn yet
another build system, especially if I only have limited use
for it :)
Some of us find build fun.

One [more] year ahead, and I found this old thread I had
forgotten about. In the meantime, trentforkert has stopped
(apparently) working on cmake, and dcarp's has failed me for
projects larger than a couple files. It also looks like it's not
receiving updates anymore.
All of this kept me away from D. Now that gdc is rumoured to get
merged into gcc 8 tho, is there any concrete chance of this
happening? I think even rust (which came out after D) has decent
cmake support at this point.
