In any case, I could not see a set of D bindings so I wrote a very rough first draft of them last night.

Re: Dash: An Open Source Game Engine in D
On 05/19/2014 03:50 PM, Colden Cullen wrote: Hi everyone, I’m super excited to be able to announce that the Dash game engine[1] is finally stable and ready for public use! I’m currently the Lead Engine Programmer at Circular Studios[2] (the group behind Dash). We had 14 people working on the team, 6 engine programmers and 8 game developers creating Spectral Robot Task Force, a turn-based strategy game built with Dash. Dash is an OpenGL engine written in the D language that runs on both Windows and Linux. We use a deferred-rendering model in the current pipeline, and a component model for game development and logic. Other major features at the moment include networking, skeletal-animation support, content and configuration loading via YAML, and UI support through Awesomium[3] (though we are in the process of moving over to using CEF[4] itself). Our vision for Dash is to have the programmer-facing model of XNA/Monogame combined with the designer-friendliness of Unity in a fully free and open source engine. We also hope that Dash can help to prove the power and maturity of D as a language, as well as push D to continue improving. We’re open to any feedback you may have, or better yet, we’d love to see pull requests for improvements.

You can get a structure that behaves as:
struct Point {
int x=166;
int y;
string label;
struct Coord {
int a,b;
}
}
Should it be really like that? If you just declare Coord struct, it
doesn't place a Coord instance in Point.
No, that's intentional. The idea was to show the possibility of nested
structs. You can create a Coord with:
auto c = Point.Coord();
I admit the example is kind of poor, though.

[Library Release] dproto
Hello, all-
I'd like to present a library that I've been working on on-and-off for
the last couple of months.
Protocol Buffers are a format produced by Google that acts as an
Interface Description Language for serializable data. Basically, given a
file containing lines like:
message Point {
optional int32 x = 1 [default=166];
required int32 y = 2;
optional string label = 3;
message Coord {
required int32 a = 1;
required int32 b = 2;
}
}
You can get a structure that behaves as:
struct Point {
int x=166;
int y;
string label;
struct Coord {
int a,b;
}
}
What's the benefit? This structure also has some useful methods for
serialization and deserialization to a well-documented format - in
dproto's case, the resulting data can be stored in any ubyte[].
What makes this library special? Unlike the C++/Java/Python compilers
for .proto files, this library does the conversion at compile time using
mixins and string manipulation. All that's needed is to add the file
directories to the string imports, and then:
mixin ProtocolBuffer!point.proto;
Where can you get it?
It's available as a Dub package (dproto), or on Github at
http://github.com/msoucy/dproto
dproto is licensed under the BSD 3-clause license, and I'm definitely
open to suggestions for improvement - currently, a lot of the code was
translated from Java and so there are some things that are quite
unidiomatic.

Agreed, Speakerdeck is very nice, and it's useful that you can log in using your github credentials. They even import from pdfs, which is nice since that way you don't have to worry about (more) proprietary formats getting screwed up, like Google Docs does to Powerpoint slides.
