Thanks, so now I have only two candidates:

[1] Tharsis (a nice place on Mars)
[2] EpicD (ideological)

I would stick with [2] EpicD.

Somehow gives me associations with “catharsis”, which I doubt all programmers think with fondness of...

“Epic” = “an exceptionally long and arduous task or activity” (a.o. meanings). Seems fitting, given the scope of the endeavour ;-) EpicD though sounds to me more like a language variant like Safe D or Better C, not so much a library.

— Bastiaan.

Well... Having a small experience in GUI programming in other languages (Python, Tcl, C++), I can say that GUI essentially changes the programming style, especially Qt that modifies C++ classes with slots and signals.

Anyway, here is a little experiment with the names:

// Import modules from TharsisUI
import tharsis.application;
import tharsis.widget;
import tharsis.window;

// Import modules from EpicD
import epicd.application;
import epicd.widget;
import epicd.window;

Visually Tharsis is more beautiful.

Do you want to release your lib recently?

Tharsis sounds cooler than epicD tho 😁

What about:

Loot - tool but reversed
Dima - random name
DMA  - from Dima but without i

Drop one 'n':

GUIness

I like that. Potentially evokes goodness and Guinness at the same time for those with the proper frame of mind.

Drag and drop you mean like dragging controls from toolbox to form like Qt/Visual studo?
