Out of curiosity: What does deimos.cairo add to cairoD? More
higher level/d-like API?
Cheers, Edwin
It's the other way around: cairoD adds D-style wrappers but
underneath they use C-style bindings(found in
cairoD/src/cairo/c/*) similar to deimos.cairo.
Deimos.cairo provides more bindings such as script,
script_interpreter, xlib_xrender ... and cairoD has support for
win32 surface. The coding-style in deimos.cairo seems nicer, the
lib beeing maintained by Walter Bright, and if I merge everything
from deimos.cairo into cairo.c.*(cairoD) then the projects that
were using deimos.cairo can easyly switch to dub and cairoD just
by changing the imports.
