Except for GtkD and DWT, D does not seem to be supported by a really nice GUI toolkit. Anyway, a serious programming language nowadays should have a lot more support in that area. I have not tried GtkD yet, but it seems the most promising. Many projects have started to create a GUI toolkit (or wrapper), but now they are abandoned. Are there any plans to really support the development of standard GUI toolkit?

Yop, we started dev of MVC/GUI Framework in pure D called Rikarin. Main concept is based on API from Cocoa framework, like MVC, Delegation, Action/Targer, Responder chain, etc.

In 6 months, there should be a first release.

Can you post some more info? Which platform this toolkit will support? What license? Can somebody help and how?

It will be multiplatform, primary for windows and linux.
As a main rendering tech. is used OpenGL with the custom drawing library for drawing simple shapes, bezier curves, etc. We are implementing material design, you can design template for your app first, then just design windows/views in IDE.
= fully customizable design of apps in IDE.

We adopt storyboard creation style from Cocoa where you can make whole GUI in IDE then bind controllers onto it.

We dont have a licence yet. But it will be something like free for non-commercial use and companies under 5 people and less than $20k profit per year.

Project is not opensource so only thing how somebody can help us is just by reporting bugs. But we discussing about opensource release of Rikarin Framework.
