I'm very happy seeing the prospect of having D support in premake which
looks very clean and being of declarative nature.

Now I wonder how difficult is to add support for  other toolchains and
asked about it on the mailing list where Jason replied with: "I did try
to abstract out common functions between the C++ and C# support. The
more data points I have to work with, the easier it will be to identify
the areas that need more abstraction (and what it should look like)."

Does adding such support involve only Lua skills?

I plan to start playing with it as soon as I finish some other non-D
related tasks.

Thank you for working on it.


Sincerely,
Gour
