I can't seem to wrap my head around using dqml and D backend for Ubuntu Unity app development. They have this UnityComponents qml module they use for UI in their SDK plus a C++ backend.

Has anyone made effort on using dqml and D backend? Sample code or any help will be sweet!! I really dislike C++, And Canonical's C++ coding style and naming convention makes it worst.

Sorry the forum is a little bit confusing. Too late until I realised I posted in the wrong place and I can't find a way to fix it.!Responsive WD.

I don't have any experience using dqml with Unity Apps but I can certainly get you in touch with the right people to help you make sense of the c++ code so that you may better apply that with dqml. Is that something you'd be interested in? Anything specific that I can communicate to those developers that you currently have questions on?

Feel free to reply here or email me directly

They use their c++ backend to hookup to qml, configure bluetooth, network and stuff. I wanted to figure out how to transfer their UbuntuComponent qml module to dqml or rather use D in place of the C++ in a generated project from their SDK.

However, I have no idea how to even start. I was hopping anyone had a sample code somewhere I could use as reference. This requires a D programmer who is into Ubuntu and their unity 8 stack I guess.

Yeah, I get it somehow now, Ubuntu UI Toolkit has APIs for Go, C++, and JavaScript. Either they build a D API or we make bindings to the C++ API.
