I use it in a pet project. ComObject is needed to manage callbacks. Was wondering how does the COM object lifetime management works but now I realise this is actually broken in the current version.

Or any new Win32 APIs since Windows XP, as most of them are actually COM based.

I'm currently using it for Direct2D and Direct3D 9/10/11. Also, I have an MIDL -> D translator for WinRT and plan to make a "language projection" for it as well.

I have received your emails. Sometimes it's a good idea to have an email address which does not contain your real name, this is obviously not one of these cases.

Are there any recent bindings to D3D/D2D for D? I remember trying some from dsource a long while ago but it didn't work. How are you using D3D?

I'm using a modified version of the bindings project on dsource and recently hand ported some D2D 1.1 and D3D 11.1 headers to be able to target WinRT applications, but those are still pretty much untested (will happen in the coming days). I can merge my changes back to the bindings project and make a pull request once I have finished the WinRT stuff.
