That means you haven't done risk analysis yet. After all, having tables that were later manually modified (which they were) without the table generator is a ticking time bomb. That could stop dmd being released. Then I need more information from people who *do* know about the issue.

If they tell you that you need to review something, you actually have to review it and not just comment "I don't know". They are your backup plan. They determine if you need to be involved. They have already determined that the information is there to require you to put in the effort. This alone should prevent a repeat.

It's only been 4 days, and I've got varied responses. Both praise and criticism, which was expected.

I currently don't see any red flags or showstoppers for us using D in this project.

Is it complete? No.
Is it perfect? Also no.

But, it's good enough that we think it's better than C/C++, which would be the alternative. Everything can be compared on various dimensions of course. But our summary of the cold hard facts still shows that D is better.

Windows x64 and Linux arm64 are our main targets, and we haven't had any problems building for those (both on host and cross-compiling).

We will do this project in D, and we hope that things will continue as smoothly as it has so far.

We just want to say thanks to all contributors, big or small. There is no D without the community. A language is a living entity.

Is there an associated GUI with this program?

There's no direct gui for it. However, it will talk to a backend, then the FE guys will create a desktop application which consumes the API and presents stuff. So indirectly there is.
