However, then I tried to deploy to the 1/2 dozen windows setups we have and it segfaults in a different manner on each setup. I'm sure it's related to dlls, initialization, and packaging but it makes for a difficult and unfavorable experience. This is reproducible with the example programs distributed with dlangui (some crash, some run). If the CI testers had covered a reasonable plethora of windows configurations/versions, this would have been identified. (One can make the same argument about my development environment too.) I then thought that maybe LDC would have been a better experience, but on windows, it comes with it's own case of worms...so I ran out of time before getting that to work either. I've not had time to investigate the underlying cause, and when I do, I'll submit a bug report. I desperately want better tools and think D has potential, I just needed them yesterday. ;)
