I'd like to put this example on the wiki unless you think there is a reason to not do so.

Thank you a lot!!! I want to use some vibe.d rendering inside Ruby on Rails, this

I just don't use dub, I don't see the benefit of it, but if it works for you, cool!

FYI: to!string is kinda slow. If you want to do a fast blank, you should avoid conversions.... actually, I'm surprised it is faster than the native Ruby one at all.

A fun project might be to use D's reflection to automatically generate any C binding translators to a nice D interface and the Ruby file to access it.

I did something similar back in the day for PHP and JavaScript... it would be kinda tricky to do it with best efficiency, but getting it to work just conveniently would be fairly easy.
