Really nice demonstration!

I lament the fact that you have to declare C variables just to get access to the #define colors.

Also, IIRC, in the latest master of DMD, there is an attempt to run the system preprocessor automatically. But I'm not sure of the state of it, or if it's in the latest release (which we are having trouble publishing still).

I've read about this somewhere. It would be nice to have the preprocessor run automatically and, maybe in the future, add those #defines for the user.

But in overall, D has grown and the ecosystem is rapidly evolving. I can see it. This is the best thing that's happening right now. And the Dconf talks were awesome; so many interesting and useful insights.

I think this was recently documented here: https://dlang.org/spec/importc.html#preprocessor

Give it a read, try it out and let us know how it works out!

It says:
"Otherwise the cpp preprocessor will be used."

You mean the default system cpp preprocessor, correct?

I wouldn't be surprised if someone asks for the ability to set their own defaults.

Happy to see that. I'll be giving it a test.

I think it means the 'cpp' program that exists on (almost?) all Linux systems.

Very cool and important to show how simple this works. Thank you!
