it here, so i decided to share this great news for D here
Sokol is a popular gamedev library

It now officially supports D, thanks to the work led by

Thanks for mentioning the project and Sokol's official support
for Sokol-D.
Before (v0.1.0->v0.2.1), it was simply an experiment for testing
cross-compilation involving two LLVM-based toolchains, and it
wasn't really usable.
Now that Zig has been removed from version v0.3.0 to v1.0 [TODO],
there is full support for the D toolkit [dmd/ldc2/gdc], which is
only preferential to ldc2 for WASM targets.
**dmd-frontend** requires at least **version 2.111.0** because of
*cimgui* (via **importC** with `@nogc`, `nothrow`, `pure`). The
`ig` prefix can be omitted when using the imgui-wrapper (D
mangled), making it optional.
However, due to the extensive use of C macros, sokol bindings
aren't auto-generated from **importC**. In
[floooh/sokol](https://github.com/floooh/sokol) main repository,
the `clang-ast -dump` command in the Python3 script is used to
automatically generate bindings, which updates the sokol-d files.
