Hats off to Iain for sure. Wish I had the resources to pay for
his work, would certainly do so.
2. Testing common packages against gdc
Why?
Mostly because I've put in about 15 hours effort so far trying to
get a vibe.d based project to build using gdc, with no success.
I'm about to give up and declare either gdc or vibe.d unsuitable
for use in a large upcoming project. That's too bad really
because D only has any credibility at all in my work group due to
the existence of gdc, and vibe.d is a nice platform to build on.
3. Updating dub so that it could assist with creating deb
and yum packages
Packaging is something dub doesn't do right now, it is
something that would be very nice to have.
For this item, if there was just a "dub install --prefix=" type
command it would be good enough. Let the packaging tools take
over from there and scoop-up the output.
4. Having a standard GUI library (maybe).
If you have the many tens of millions to build it, sure.
Ah, if only. Let me check the couch cushions, should be a trust
fund hiding in there somewhere ;)
