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.

Great functionality and great article.
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

John Colvin was working on this.

Posted in reply to Mike Parker | 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 |

I've considered this, and am still considering it, despite not having heard of javacpp before. Thanks for the link, I'll take a look.

Also SWIG (for d too) does something like this.
