Thank you. Printed and started reading today before work. A lot of interesting insights about the rationale behind design decisions. For a non C/C++ programmer, this helps me better understand D and it's close relationship with these languages. Cool stuff. As I did research on what happened and when, I discovered many of my recollections were wrong or out of order. Fortunately, I kept all the emails and there's the n.g. archives, without which writing that article would have been impossible.

This is a 6 years old post though. I'm sure there are much better graphics libraries out there by now, including D ones. Box2D? Its a physics engine. Yes sorry about that I remembered it wrong. :) Anyway I think it would be great to optimize it. If I recall right, there was a lot of GC usage in the port.

I've got to ask though. Why "tardy"? Search engines be damned? :) Late binding ;) Love the name.

So I guess you know what it is. But Box2D itself is still used almost everywhere its need. And not port exists aside this.
