For OpenCL I develop and maintain DCompute:

It has a much beautified interface to OpenCL (and is mostly
consistent with its CUDA interface). You can also write
kernels directly in D, however this requires that LDC is
built against my fork of LLVM:

It's still in dev but should be usable. Please let me know if
you have issues using it.
I saw your library before, but it looked like it is ONLY for
native D on GPUs. I looked at it again, and don't see any
documentation or example showing that it works with standard
OpenCL kernels written in C.
Yeah its a wrapper for OpenCL so as long as the names and
signatures of the symbols match it should work.
p.s. since you seem to be a green team guy, you might not know
that llvm optimization sucks on AMD. I use -legacy when
building my kernels to get the good old compiler.
"green team guy"?
It that with the OpenCL C compiler? DCompute goes through SPIR-V
for OpenCL (although it would be nice to support SPIR.
Unfortunately the official version SPIR 2.0 is based of is not
supported by LDC), I dont know if this makes a difference.
It would be nice to eventually support AMDGCN et. al. at some
point but I don't have the time at the moment.
