For completeness... Do you have experience with C#?


They said they use Mono, which means C# or VB or F#. Maybe 
Nemerle. But probably C#.


Yes, I work with C# (using the Mono framework using the 
MonoDevelop IDE) at work.
We prefer .Mono instead of .Net framework mainly for its platform 
interoperability as well as the fact that .Mono projects are far 
easier and faster to work with than VisualStudio projects.


With F#, I went through a few tutorials and just left it there 
because ...well ..VisualStudio


As for VB, I've had enough of it when I was working at my 1st 
employer.. horrible.. ;)

Awesome!
Do you have any suggestions for e.g. the docs?
Feedback is welcome :)


At this point I'm still a noob so still haven't gone through all 
the docs yet.
Up until now I find the Docs site extremely helpful and well 
designed, and I also like the fact that when I installed D 
through the package manager, everything was neatly taken care 
along with a desktop version of the docs site.


I have one general question, since I see the DWT library 
mentioned as part of the main ecosystem.

Is DWT considered as the official UI framework?

With Java I use SWT for desktop and RWT (part of Eclipse RAP) for 
web UI development as my main framework, and if DWT is to be the 
official UI for D, then that would be great news for me.
I did not find DWT though in the DUB repository, so at this point 
I've checked it out from Git.
Having a few issues when compiling for 64bit, but that I guess is 
something that I'll take care of along the way.. :)
