Great.
The new "platform" attribute looks better than the current situation.

I really like it. More than half of it looks like Ruby :). Is there support in editors for SDL, like syntax highlighting?

I used simple C highlighting in notepad++ to at least get folding ;)

The second beta is out now. "dub init" now creates an SDL package description by default (use --format=json to get a dub.json instead).

"dub describe" has gotten a lot more powerful with a new "targets" field and the new "--data" switch. This is especially useful for external build tools based on this output. Pre/post build/generate commands can now access a bunch of additional environment variables [1].

Have you considered referring to it as SDLang? SDL is difficult to google/already taken by a much more prominent project. I know SDL isn't your creation and I can't speak for anyone else but before it was proposed for dub I never heard of Simple Declarative Language.

Googling "Simple Declarative Language" has less than 5,000 results so I guess I'm not alone.

Awesome! Is there a dub cmd to convert a given project to SDL ?

Congrats on the work done !

Honestly, I am really not fan of implementing a feature AND making it a default in the same release.
