The main problem with SDL is it's name. It's not an overly

using D - the
problem with SDL's lack of popularity shares it's initials
with "Simple
DirectMedia Layer" - a super-popular project with binding for
most languages.
This makes it very hard to google for Dimple Declarative
Languae - because most
of the things you'll find are about Simple DirectMedia Layer.
If you google "D programming language SDL" you'll find it.
I just did - and all the first page results were about "Simple
DirectMedia Layer". The second page had two results that have
something to do with "Simple Declarative Language" - but they
weren't landing pages or anything, just source codes that
happened to deal with
DUB(https://travis-ci.org/D-Programming-Language/dub-registry and
https://coveralls.io/files/917374709).
Google search results are a bit customized, so other people might
get better results, but I still believe SDL is extremely
unsearchable.
