Speaking of which, is it me or there are quite a lot more stars than I'd 
anticipated getting aligned for D? I haven't done GUI programming in a 
while, but my understanding is that Qt is canine testes when it comes 
about solid portable GUI programming, so I see QtD as absolutely huge 
for D. Then we have the continuously improved Descent, Sean's awesome 
core lib, various language interface libraries, and now up-and-coming 
support in SlickEdit. Something is in the air!
