Hooray! HelloWorld compiles!
Great work Ant, the windows installer is what i have
been waiting for. Although it did take some messing around with it
to get it to work :)

Does this mean that "dool" is in any way
"officially" supported or recommended ?

I'm not sure that rewriting Phobos with
objects (OO) is all that great, myself...

(from the dool forum)
> Phobos module -> dool class - std.string -> String - std.file -> File , Path - std.path -> Path - std.conv -> Integer (rename to Int?) - std.ctype -> Charater (rename to Char?) That’s it..  The impact on DUI is also minimal. The DUI developer will notice only

Will the "standard" D libraries now become
a mix of "C-" and "Java-" style D modules ?
(primitive/functions versus objects/methods)

Couldn't that be a tad hard to follow ?

PS.
Yes, I know that there are other GUI libraries out there:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?AvailableGuiLibraries
Just wondering... (and there are not that many non-Windows)

I am sure! It is a great idea! :)

I don't know what the "standard" D libraries will become but that's what it is right now.

I'm sure you are! (Hey, it worked for Java)

Just thought that mixing char[], wchar[]
and String could be something of pain...
(not to mention a whole lot of un/boxing)


BTW; Did you ever think of naming it
"D's really object oriented library" ?  :-)

Yes I did, I was going for 'runtime' but the effect is the same :) I chickened out...

I don't know what Walter means, but what I read is:
Thanks for building the only D GUI toolkit for linux.
Thanks for building the only cross platform D GUI toolkit.

dool can almost be ignored by DUI users.

Save that for D's revised object oriented library

( An important part of v 1.0i )
