- Binding D to C January 8, 2012This is part one of a series on creating bindings to C libraries for the D programming language. This is a topic that has become near and dear to my heart. Derelict is the first, and only, open source project I've ever maintained. It's not a complicated thing. There's very little... […]

Derelict2 Branch Begun
I’ve just committed to the Derelict repository the beginnings of the Derelict2 branch, in case anyone is interested. Currently it only contains DerelictAL, DerelictSDL, and DerelictUtil. Aside from a rearchitecting and some improvements internally, Derelict2 also adds D2 support. You … Continue reading
How Neat It Is
This may sound silly, but when working with D I sometimes catch myself just sitting here admiring the beauty of a source file. It never ceases to amaze me how neat and concise D code can be. I don’t think … Continue reading
