News and Opinions of the Digital Mars D Programming Language
While investigating GUI apps designed to manage SQLite DBs, I stumbled across Icequake. It’s written in D using DWT. I had never heard of it before. I’ve only just seen the web site and have yet to download it or look at the source, but I’m thinking that porting it to the new tioported SWT might be a neat little exercise.

tioport is a project that converts Java source to D. That’s pretty cool in and of itself, but what’s even cooler is the reason the project was initiated — to automate the porting of SWT to D. It appears that the goal has been achieved.
Since I don’t see these links on the wiki page linked above, I’ll break my normally rigid rule about posting direct download links on the blog. These are the current snapshots of the converted SWT:

I think we’ll be seeing some neat stuff coming out of this. If I can ever make the time to work on it, this is pretty much the last major piece of the puzzle for a D project I’d like to put together. Do you have any extra time you’d like to sell me?
