Cool. My OpenBSD box is on fritz so I haven't kept done more, but I have a short [gdc-on-OpenBSD guide](https://d.minimaltype.com/index.cgi/wiki?name=D%20on%20OpenBSD). The login.conf step likely applies to dmd as well.

Re: OpenBSD DMD package
Hello D community -- I am pleased and excited to announce that I have committed a package of DMD to the OpenBSD package repository: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs=163409989017870=2 OpenBSD -current users should be able to run `pkg_add dmd` sometime tomorrow to get a binary package of DMD. Unfortunately, the timing of DMD 2.098.0 just missed the deadline to be included in OpenBSD 7.0. However, because -current and 7.0 are effectively the same in terms of libraries that matter for DMD, I will personally support OpenBSD 7.0 users who use the dmd-2.098.0 package until OpenBSD 7.1 is released (6 months from now). ~Brian

Do it in D (DIID) (careful with there being a trademark for DiiD though) How about "from prototype to production" or something? I was reading yesterday about how both memcached and redis were originally written in scripting languages and then rewritten in C for performance.

Unfortunately, ImportC is useless if it only half works. It has to work with existing C headers, which is why I'm concentrating on it to get to that point. Lack of ImportC has wasted a *lot* of developer time, making it a high leverage investment of time. Just think of all the time lost doing manual conversion of .h files, and then doing them again and again as they evolve. Then not one, not two, but *three* different automated programs were developed to try and resolve this (one of which I wrote). Then think of all the projects *not* done because of the barrier of trying to deal with several thousand lines of .h files. The Diemos project was an effort to crowdsource conversion of .h files to D, but it just was not adequate. In summary, ImportC is totally worth the effort. I should have done it 15 years ago. Agreed. I'm eager to try ImportC in it's full glory when it arrives :) And when it's "complete" it would be cool to integrate it even further. Maybe some stuff could be automated for example or even be done at design time
