No drag, DLangUI is quite fine and usable (and already being
used in industry).
Or are you talking about including it into Phobos? That's not
the best idea, it would make Phobos unnecessary fat and
involve some dependencies complicating things, besides there
is never a consensus regarding a GUI library, trying to
include any GUI library is a recipe for eternal flamewar about
all the different aspects of what GUI library should be and do.
If you need some GUI, DLangUI is just a "dub build" away.
I'm worried about it not becoming abandoned.
This. Dlangui does seem too fat to add to phobos.
What could be done in general for these cases is to let the D
org. pick a couple of important libraries that is not suited for
Phobos and try to move them to the dlang github org as owner (if
current owner agrees of course). Original owner becomes
lead/driver on the moved repo.
That would be strong sign of commitment and in case of the
original owner losing interest the dlang org. can assign a new
driver.
