Components are coming to HTML5:

Google is experimenting with implementing their "Material GUI" in

Sure, you can do your own in D, but you probably cannot keep up

and utilize what already is there. HTML5 provides ArrayView
objects that basically are slices of raw memory.
It could work out nicely.
