The prototypes I created so far, also a complex application, 
worked well. What definitely is missing, only a small subset of 
the available Delphi components are wrapped. Creating/enhancing 
existing wrappers is rather easy (see e.g. 
https://github.com/andre2007/delta-fmx-10-2-1/blob/master/source/FMX/Memo.d)

I tried to create a Pascal parser which should generate the D 
wrappers but stopped due to time constraints.

Kind regards
