Mike Parker:
I would be content if DMD did not ship Win32 bindings at all, except for the minimal needed to implement cross-platform stuff in Phobos. As it stands, the static libs for the Win32 API that ship with DMD are old and don't include a good number of modern functions anyway. IMO, complete OS API bindings *should* be separate. I wouldn't expect them with the compiler.
I prefer languages with more "batteries included". Bye, bearophile
