D port of the Dynamic Window Manager (DWM)

[stewart h via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Hi,

I've ported DWM to D as a learning exercise and thought I'd share 
it. The repository can be found here:

https://bitbucket.org/growlercab/ddwm

(Beware, I've only tested it on Arch-Linux 64 bit for about 1 
day!)

DWM is a minimalist dynamic window manager from suckless. More 
details on DWM can be found here

The "cport" branch is where I've done as little as possible to 
port the C code to D. It really looks like C code and is 
basically the DWM code compiling with DMD.

Under the "Downloads" section is a build of ddwm-cport to try out 
if anyone is interested, or build from source as it's pretty easy 
with dub.

The master branch is where I'm learning D, trying new Phobos 
functions and D style coding. I'm then comparing how the D-style 
version performs with DDWM.cport and the original DWM in terms of 
speed and memory.

I don't expect the master branch to be stable but cport should 
work fine.


Cheers,
Stew
