Hi everyone,
Can anyone advise a symbolic algebra library written in dlang?

I wonder how difficult it would be to create bindings to ginac. 
Supposedly D is good at interoperating with C++ now.

Some time ago I did use ginac from D, but a little differently. 
There is little advantage to using D for the symbolic algebra 
part. I wrote up a C++ library with functions to do the 
calculations, created a .so, and called it from D. Then I decided 
I didn't want to mess with C++ at all, so I wrote a D function 
that would take the symbolic algebra part as a string, compile a 
C++ library, and I used that from D. I suppose that is a bit of a 
hack, but it only took a few minutes to add that functionality to 
D. Writing a quality symbolic algebra library would take many 
years and wouldn't provide much benefit.
