I don't understand something about this project. Having existing 
GtkD, DFL, DlangUI, SimpleDisplay, DQuick and probably a few 
others, creating windows on different platforms and eventing 
seems to be a solved problem, multiple times solved. But your 
project is lasting for years at this little stage. And this makes 
me wonder what it is about.
