IMHO no need to reinvent the wheel for that.

You can probably do both in four months, if you just "port" 
(separately) and bind the code of the two following libraries :
1/ swGL (https://github.com/h0MER247/swGL)
2/ Nuklear (https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear)

They have a very open design, and are already quite well 
optimized for speed and memory consumption.

Moreover this would allow the D port of the Nuklear library to 
also use a hardware accelerated renderer on desktop platforms.

Nice isn't it ?

And I'd be glad to mentor you on this :)
