GtkD works very well for me. But I guess GTK+ has a reputation of not working on Windows and macOS. Once a reputation is established it is nigh on impossible to refute. Qt appears to be C++ battering ram against all other languages other than Python. Go has failed to get a really good binding, except perhaps to QML. D has failed to get a really good binding to Qt or QML. I guess I should check out the Rust binding, except that I am in the gtk-rs and gstreamer-rs camp these days on all things GUI. D has always had an excellent story in the "connect to C linkage libraries", has any of the work in D on C++ linkage over the last few years changed the landscape so that a D binding for Qt and QML could be as good as the GtkD binding is to GTK+?
