- Mike Parker (9/9) Apr 08 2019 I've just published a new Project Highlight, this one on dpp.
- Andre Pany (8/17) Apr 08 2019 Great functionality and great article.
- Atila Neves (2/21) Apr 09 2019 John Colvin was working on this.
- DanielG (11/11) Apr 09 2019 re: the difficulties of interfacing D with certain types of C/C++
- Atila Neves (4/15) Apr 19 2019 I've considered this, and am still considering it, despite not
- Andrea Fontana (2/21) Apr 19 2019 Also SWIG (for d too) does something like this.
I've just published a new Project Highlight, this one on dpp. Atila shares some anecdotes about how and why the project came together. He'll be speaking more about it at DConf next month.

I just realized DPP would be a perfect candidate for a Dub plugin. Just write the .dpp files, add the dependency to DPP in dub.json and the Dub plugin mechanism (to be implemented) will do all the rest for you. Kind regards Andre

re: the difficulties of interfacing D with certain types of C/C++ code ... Has anybody looked into something like a JavaCpp[1] approach for D? Instead of trying to get D to speak directly with C++, or translating C/C++ headers to D, why not use special annotated D code to generate a middleman .cpp file, which then exports a D-friendly interface? Then all the dirty work gets handled by a C++ compiler. Wouldn't that be an order of a magnitude easier to implement? [1]: https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp
