I'm aware that the folks working on improving/fixing DMD is doing terrific job, but in one sense this is kind of work that new D user could take as granted based on the premise that 'it should just work as described in e.g. TDPL'. Otoh, your work is extending usability of D to be used for writing real-world GUI applications and we cannot say how many people may abandon the idea to use D just by seeing the present state of many half-baked GUI bindings *before* even stumbling upon some DMD bugs. Let's not forget that today the language itself does not mean much without 'batteries included' and the whole ecosystem inckluding IDE/editors suppor, build systems etc. So, I would not minimize the fact to get stable/actively_developed/easily_maintained bindings for native multi-platform GUI toolkit. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains.
