hi...so is this group forum about the SWT D bindings ? (I am just surprised that it is...in the ecosystem if it is what I think it is)
No, D does not have a official gui lib. The dlang core community is still small and hardly funded, it's mostly still a design-by-volunteers language. Therefore it's impossible to maintain any significantly sized lib in phobos. Especially when majority of the D users are web based programmers and there is no common consensus about which gui lib to pick.
The main focus is to improve safety, before that out used to be parallelism and concurrency, even before that it used to be speed, ufcs, duck typing etc.
Point is that gui libs or any major libs will almost never be official, unless it's web related.
Also, nowadays it's fashionable to design-your-own-lang so every major company has their own language now, it seems less and less likely that D will be sponsored by any major company. Therefore although the language seems to be evolving fast, quality tools and libs are evolving excruciatingly slowly.
