Hi,
I just wanted to share some experience of using D in industry.
Recently my little company released version 2.0 of our flagship
product Video Enhancer, a video processing application for
Windows, and this time it's written in D.

DLangUI
Very nice library. Documentation is very sparse though, so
learning to use DLangUI often means reading source code of
examples and the lib itself, and sometimes even that's not
enough and you need to learn some Android basics, since it
originates from Android world. But once you learn how to use
it, how to encode what you need in DML (a QML counterpart) or
add required functionality by overriding some method of its
class, it's really great and pleasant to use. Many times I was
so happy the source code is available, first for learning, then
for tweaking and fixing bugs. I've found a few minor bugs and
sent a few trivial fixes that were merged quickly. DLangUI is
cross-platform and has several backends for drawing and font
rendering. We're using its minimal build targeted to use Win32
API (had to tweak dub.json a bit). We don't use OpenGL, as it's
not really guaranteed to work well on any Windows box. Using
just WinAPI makes our app smaller, more stable and avoids
dependencies.

Another reason to embrace DLangUI. One starting point would be to
improve the documentation and write a few tutorials (including
DML, themes etc.)
