I just saw this yesterday, and i haven't see anybody talk about it here, so i decided to share this great news for D here

Sokol is a popular gamedev library https://github.com/floooh/sokol

It now officially supports D, thanks to the work led by https://github.com/kassane

Thanks for mentioning the project and Sokol's official support for Sokol-D.

Before (v0.1.0->v0.2.1), it was simply an experiment for testing cross-compilation involving two LLVM-based toolchains, and it wasn't really usable.
Now that Zig has been removed from version v0.3.0 to v1.0 [TODO], there is full support for the D toolkit [dmd/ldc2/gdc], which is only preferential to ldc2 for WASM targets.

dmd-frontend requires at least version 2.111.0 because of cimgui (via importC with @nogc, nothrow, pure). The ig prefix can be omitted when using the imgui-wrapper (D mangled), making it optional.

However, due to the extensive use of C macros, sokol bindings aren't auto-generated from importC. In floooh/sokol main repository, the clang-ast -dump command in the Python3 script is used to automatically generate bindings, which updates the sokol-d files.
