A while ago, (August of last year I think), there was talk

a MPI wrapper for D. Has there been any update on that?
I was considering writing one, but I wanted it to be high-level
and easy-to-use. I ended up not doing it, initially because I
was waiting for serialization to be added to Phobos (which I
thought was imminent) and then because I got busy with
unrelated things.
I think that a nice high-level MPI wrapper for D should be
tightly integrated into a serialization library to encapsulate
the low-level details of passing non-trivial data structures
across nodes. I doubt I'll get around to implementing it when
serialization is added, though, because I'm probably past the
MPI-using stage of my life (my Ph.D. research is basically
finished, I'm just revising my dissertation and preparing to
defend) so I wouldn't get to eat my own dogfood.
Well, my PhD research is just beginning... :)
Any chance you could pass on what you have? It might help me out
a bit, and reduce my workload toward creating a usable MPI
library.
Thanks.
