Hi,
I've ported DWM to D as a learning exercise and thought I'd
share it. The repository can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/growlercab/ddwm
(Beware, I've only tested it on Arch-Linux 64 bit for about 1
day!)
DWM is a minimalist dynamic window manager from suckless. More
details on DWM can be found here
http://dwm.suckless.org/
The "cport" branch is where I've done as little as possible to
port the C code to D. It really looks like C code and is
basically the DWM code compiling with DMD.
Under the "Downloads" section is a build of ddwm-cport to try
out if anyone is interested, or build from source as it's
pretty easy with dub.
The master branch is where I'm learning D, trying new Phobos
functions and D style coding. I'm then comparing how the
D-style version performs with DDWM.cport and the original DWM
in terms of speed and memory.
I don't expect the master branch to be stable but cport should
work fine.
Cheers,
Stew
Would you be interested in going full fork mode and adding new
features to D version? I am big fan of tiling window managers and
having one that is written in D and I can easily extend sounds
tempting :3
