So based upon this, what would you like to do? Scratch or
another
pre-existing protocol like proto-buffers?
It is a mature library, which has been open sourced under the

license when Oculus baught it. Hence why I want to use this

reinventing the wheel.
They really need to update its old website then.
I've had a look at the code, its mostly classes and is very c
style.
You won't have trouble making bindings.
The main steps if you want to give it a go are:
1. Compile via MSVC (either 32 or 64bit are fine) can be static
of dynamic
2. Compile D with -m32mscoff or -m64 and link against above
binary
You will almost definitely want to use 64bit binaries not 32bit
if you use dub.
I know there is a D target for SWIG but I have never really
used it. But I do not believe you need any magical tool to do
the binding creation for you. The headers should convert over
nicely as is for you.
Do I use the DMD compiler? Also, would Dub not work with 64-bit
executables? I still need to use 32-bit to support systems that
aren't 64-bit yet.
Also, is it possible to use D like a traditional scripting
language? The use case is adding content to the server (which may
contain D scripts) without restarting it for a full recompile.
