Nice work. As a person still trying to understand modern OpenGL, I admire your jump into Vulkan. Just a quick question if I may; Why did you use ErupteD over say d-vulkan or derelict-vulcan? From my brief perusal of all three, they all seem kind of the same. Thanks.

Re: Dynamic Bindings to libui (x-platform GUI)
you probably misunderstood my post. ;-) i absolutely don't want to install gtk+3, it's not "native" for my system, no other app is using it. that means "no GNU/Linux support" for me.
SR3C -- small sompression library
SR3C[1] is a small and simple MIT-licensed compression library (~28KB of source code, no external dependencies), which nevertheless can compress data with the quality of gzip -7. the drawbacks are: • it requires ~4.5MB of RAM for compression or decompression; • decompression speed is much slower than gzip's; • compression speed is slower too (yet this case can be improved by using gdc/ldc to build the code). usage sample can be seen here[2].

Hi Guys,
I have been looking into the DMD now to see what I can do about
CTFE.
I will post more details as soon as I dive deeper into the code.
Update :
int bug6498(int x)
{
int n = 0;
while (n < x)
++n;
return n;
}
static assert(bug6498(10_000_000)==10_000_000);
This compiles now for me. Although it still takes 10 seconds ;)

It's also similar to comparing assembly code to C. I am just working on a change that introduces a temporary-Stack to the memory management of dmd. So far it crashes :)

A ready to use Vulkan triangle example for D
https://github.com/MaikKlein/VulkanTriangleD Currently only Linux is supported but it should be fairly easy to also add Windows support. Only the surface extensions have to be changed. The example requires Vulkan ready hardware + driver + LunarG sdk with validation layer + sdl2. Another dependency is ErupteD which I have forked myself because there is currently an issue with xlib-d and xcb-d with their versioning. The example is also not currently completely 100% correct but it should run on most hardware. I don't get any validation errors but I am sure I have made a few mistakes along the way. It took me around 15 hours to get to a working triangle and I hope this might help someone who is interested in Vulkan.
