Would you be open to try something else than GtkD then...

In D, some pipelines are not mature, yet, as one would expect but 
when it comes to actual coding, D just flies. I don't know your 
mileage in D, but usually it is punctuated of endless self remark 
such as: "seriously... awwwwwesome!", "That's it! you f***in 
other language that I should not mention in public", "those guys 
are brilliant", "for kids", and "prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay, 
pretty good".

You are probably very at ease with your actual setup but you'll 
still end up using two different languages, two editors, many 
more files (.h, .c) and probably some suspicious code, and or 
techniques, to glue everything together.

Look, you need to step out of your comfort zone to see the 
light!!! lol

my two cents. :D
