But I might like to see some C++ or even Java libraries rewritten in D to make the more easily available or reliable. wxWidgets, Qt, or SWT make for obvious choices. I'm not the only ones to whom these were obvious as the wxD, QtD, and DWT projects indicate. Not that I want to take on such a project myself, but it's good to see others working on them. (Well, wxD, and QtD are not translations, but oh well).
