Ur, what? wxWindows compiles using DMC++, and there were plans on wrapping it using SWIG. This would make all wxWindows ports available at once and with no effort. Wrapping instead of porting.

Btw, to drop an idea: to have a lightweight GUI working right off and easy to port, FLTK has the best architecture and shoud be a snap to port *completely*. However, it's by its sole idea program-drawn, not OS or underlying toolkit! Skinning is done easily, attempts to "native" look are bound to have "the Swing problem" multiplied by 10!

Out of context. I meant "our" wx project.
But after all seems that's the most recent idea is to wrap
GTK in SWT talk.

There are many toolkits out there...
probable more toolkits then people able to work on them on D.

We need one of the three, not all of them.

Doing a line by line translation of the code makes it a derived work, subject to the original copyright.

True, that's called a "clean room" implementation. It's not worth the bother, though, if the original meets one of those 3 requirements.

A proper D conversion should at least make the effort to replace the String class with D char arrays <g>.

A couple of years back I wrote a standalone Java servlet-server; totally secure and faster than anything else available. I've been thinking about porting this to D (perhaps using the OpenD.org Sockets package), if there's not already something similar?

What do you think -- a servlet-style HTTP server in D, for D?

Excellent! Do it.

I'll be happy to review it when you're done.

I think this would be fantastic project.  I'd like to help, but I'm busy on other things at the moment.  I will, however, join Matthew in offering review and testing.

D Server Pages or DSP

</drool>

DSP huh?  Funny, I was (ESP) thinking the same thing .... that's a cool name
Brad :-)

Didn't Nicholas Wirth once say "designing a Language is easy, but coming up with a great name is really hard" ?

Yeah, I'm really *original*.  All by myself, I came up with the name for the port of SWT to D:  dwt

I think I've found my calling :D  - Anyone else out there need a name for their project?  Bring it on.
