I periodically look at how I can make use of D for small
projects. Most often, I shy away because I want to build a GUI
and none of the libraries that I can find look mature and well
maintained enough to put my faith in. For C++ there's Qt, which
is *phenomenally* good (despite some warts), but there's been at
least half a dozen attempts at creating D bindings for that, all
in various states of completion/negligence.
GtkD works very well for me. But I guess GTK+ has a reputation of not
working on Windows and macOS.
And KDE.
I've heard a lot of very good things about GtkD, and honestly, I have no
doubts about any of it. Unfortunately though, the main problem with GtkD
is simply GTK itself :(
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+?
I really hope so! No idea personally though :(
What about DWT? It seemed pretty good from what I could tell, though I
still haven't ventured into D GUIs just yet myself. Are there issues
people have with DWT? Or WxD?
