I managed to let this little anniversary slip by me. My first post in the old Derelict forum at DSource[1] is dated May 6, 2004, my initial commit to svn[2] was May 7, and my announcement in the newsgroup[3] was on May 8. My attention to the project has waxed and waned, but I'm still puttering along. I expect to continue for the forseeable future. There have been a number of contributors over the years who have helped out in porting to Linux and Mac, fixing bugs, and keeping the bindings up to date. It's been very much a community project, which has made it more enjoyable to work on. It helps that it isn't difficult to maintain :) Maybe before the next decade goes by I'll actually finish a game in D, which is the reason I started Derelict in the first place. For those who don't know, the current iteration of Derelict can be found at the DerelictOrg group at github[4]. I've still got work to do on it (ahem, documentation), but it's coming along.

Once I get all of the packages caught up, and barring any unexpected surprises (like, everyone abandoning dub for something else), it all should (finally!) be in a permanently stable state. I'm really happy with the current set up.

I definitely value it, even if I don't use it much.

When I choose a programming language to work on a problem, one of the factors I look at is whether there are enough tools and libraries to construct a solution in a reasonable amount of time. Back when I was looking at D for game development – and I still am – there was Derelict. And now, there still is Derelict. Without it, I probably would've wrote D off for this specific task. I'm hoping in another few years, we'll have nice idiomatic D wrappers on top of Derelict for most things. There are a lot of promising projects out there, many that are quite nice already (gfm, for example). Derelict oft serves as the basis for these projects, eliminating a lot of the front load. Thanks to Mike Parker and all of the other contributors for developing and maintaining Derelict for these 10 long years. Regards, Kelet

Adding my appreciation, and totally agree with ponce. If it were not for Derelict and its easy setup ( much easier than in C/C++ world ) I wouldn't get the chance to fall in love and stick with D. Thanks a lot ! Cheers, ParticlePeter !
