I'm kind of leaning towards "no" myself in regards to whether 
there's any value for such a thing in D, since it just makes me 
think back to the old "State of D" survey.

But I'd like to see other's thoughts.

I don't think there's a shortage of information about what people want from D. The difficulty is finding the manpower, consensus, and sound, detailed designs required to actually implement things in a way that we won't regret later.

`D` should investigate more. Investigate the most commonly used libraries. Not limited to languages. Then investigate which features of other languages users like best. etc...

Why doesn't anyone make a `d binding` for wxWidgets? I think it's a good idea.
