No need to recompile (ie. have the source code) the app you are doing
when you change the QML. This in turn also speeds up design iterations.
I've been thinking of a design that there's a GUI builder tool. When the
developer builds the GUI the tool will serialize the GUI to some format,
XML, binary or whatever. The application that uses the GUI can load it
at runtime for fast development cycles.
As an optimization the tool can serialize the GUI as D code. The
application can than, at compile time, load the D code using import
expression and mix it in somewhere. In theory, it should be as the
developer wrote GUI code by hand.
