Well, I have some time on my hands so I guess I'll answer "Why
not write this in D?"
1) The easiest way to access platform-native stuff is to use
platform-native tools (Xcode/Objective-C, Visual Studio/C++/COM,
etc). At a minimum I would have to translate header files, and
rely on D having

Please be more specific so I don't answer the wrong question.
(Why not in D? Why a C API? Other?)
And re: hardware acceleration of Quartz2D ... at least up to
10.12, I see no evidence of that in my testing.

entirely on the user's resolution / CPU. (But

So yeah, just the complete lack of OpenGL support really :P
Well I don't mind you telling more about OpenDL either. :)

Good question. I've not spent much time with OpenGL-y things, but
from what little I know:
- OpenWL doesn't use or provide OpenGL contexts. I'm sure it will
be added
