With LDC's new ability to do android/arm, we are missing the ability to do GUI's? Can any of the current D solutions work such as GtkD or QtD? I'm looking for something somewhat lightweight, easy to use(I find GtkD a bit funky but it does seem to work and is relatively easy once one gets through the basics). I think having a GUI builder is crucial though as it makes it so much easier in the long run. Glade is a bit funky but functional and works.

Ideally I'd like to be able to make portable apps that just work across the board(mac, linux, windows, android) without much hassle.

Have a look at http://forum.dlang.org/post/mvcojnfustdtdavermon@forum.dlang.org

Mike said maybe later, when I asked him in January:

In the meantime, you can try DlangUI, as Seb pointed out, but I get the impression it's not touch-optimized, just like Gtk.

And if you want something lightweight, the complete GTK stack is probably not what you are looking for.
