The point is, I would like first to try some existing Dlang-based 
game or engine, to evaluate if Dlang really gives me so much more 
advantage/convenience over C++ (or Rust). Depending on that I 
will decide if it is worth to invest the effort to migrate all my 
stuff to Dlang.

Also while in C/C++ I hacked most of functionality 
(math,GUI,renderer,physics-engine) from scratch, I would prefer 
to rely on some solid reliable standard libraries from Dlang. My 
stuff is usually kinda "The best you can make in one week". One 
reason why I re-implemented so much things (like GUI, which I 
really hate to do) is because I find it quite painful to 
install&configure libraries in C/C++ (especially when versions 
changes). I hope that with Dlang's Dub or Rust's Cargo this will 
be much easier and I will use 3rd party libraries more.
