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.
I guess this is a risk with any free SW, the risk of it getting
abandoned. Unless someone is willing to pay money for support
contracts, which is not possible for hobbyists like me. Nor can
I support it myself as I am not an expert in that field.
After suffering from this couple of times, I now tend to prefer
SW from big corporations which hopefully will be supported for
few years or SW from communities which are large enough to pick
things up when things are abandoned.
Didn't mean to offend anyone, just thinking out loud.
D Foundation could help ensure the project keeps running by
providing some kind of recognition and backing.
After all, when someone wants a cross platform D GUI library, the
ONLY current usable choice is DLangUI.
Is there any technical or legal issues to this? We could go with
it now or wait till nothing comes. Every modern/mainstream/widely
used software has some kin of GUI frontend.
