If we had @copy, this would clearly forever be something that we added just because we has postblit constructors first, whereas @implicit at least _might_ be used for something more. That does actually make a lot of sense. Isn't there any way these constructors could be inferred without the attribute?

It's the fundamental way dependency injection containers are used. Instead of having complex dependencies on other resources you can just rely on the container to serve resources as needed. For example if you have a class which needs the Greeter service you will either have to embed that service using composition or pass it into the class via a constructor or setter. A container is a single place where this and many other services can be retrieved. This also means that anything wanting to use the container is also dependent on it but this is sometimes less complicated than dealing with all the other dependencies individually. Also some dependencies have complicated rules for creating them which some dependency injection containers deal with, again removing this code from where the resource is actually being used.

Usually this won't happen because uniqueData is likely to be in data section and callback is likely to be a member of a widget used elsewhere. But if they aren't, GC will free them and you end up with dangling pointers in CommandArgs. I see. I think i have been bitten by this actually. What would be your solution?

If yes any hints would be much appreciated. IMHO, two widgets are missing in Tk-Tkinter a grid as mentioned above and a web view. These widgets are not supported in Tcl/Tk by itself but could be added at any time. The Tkinter ones (and there is many) are community written using Tkinter (in Python), Tcl or as C extensions. I guess we could do the same if there is enough demand. Tkd is not meant to be an all singing all dancing GUI toolkit (such as Gtk or Qt) but rather a simple toolkit for simple UI's. If you need something built quickly with a simple UI (a prototype perhaps) use Tkd. If you're building the next Steam or Spotify use Qt/Gtk.

There is always going to be a certain amount of overhead because of that.

Also, regarding DUB directory copying for the tcl init scripts, the docs mention a postBuildCommands which I would think could be used for that purpose (or for pretty much anything else). Yeah that's the plan but i need a nice method of referring to the output directory when used as a dependency. I've been through this with Sönke and he reckons the next version of dub will be able to do this. See: https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub/issues/299
Tkd - Cross platform GUI toolkit based on Tcl/Tk
Tkd v1.0.0-beta https://github.com/nomad-software/tkd http://code.dlang.org/packages/tkd Overview Tkd is a fully cross-platform GUI toolkit based on Tcl/Tk[1]. Tkd allows you to build GUI applications easily and with the knowledge of a consistent, native look and feel on every platform. Why Tcl/Tk? Tkd development was initiated based on the performance and uptake of the Tkinter[2] toolkit distributed as a standard part of the Python[3] programming language. Tkinter allows developers easy access to GUI programming with very little learning. Being the de facto GUI toolkit of Python has introduced more developers to GUI application programming and increased the popularity of the language as a whole. Tkd is an attempt to provide D with the same resource. Supported platforms Windows Linux Mac OSX Documentation Full HTML documentation is available inside the repository. Notes Because Tkd is based upon Tcl/Tk and being cross-platform in nature there are limitations on what can be achieved. While not as comprehensive as gtkd or qtd, Tkd offers a smaller and lighter alternative for quickly creating native GUI applications. See the readme in the repository for more detailed information.

Even with your exact line above: dub --config=example I still get the same result. Same here. I thought this sounded familiar, i raised this a few weeks ago with Sonke on the dub forums (still waiting for a reply.) http://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.dub/thread/1339/#post-1453 I can't reproduce it now.
