Hi,

I would like to fill out your survey, but the description makes it too
abstract for me to reasonably choose my answers.

The price I am willing to pay for a piece of software is always dictated
by the prices of other software available and by returns of the software
I am programming (be it money or just joy).

You wrote some interesting things:
"However, this library has some *very* large generated sources, which
makes it difficult (if not impossible) to compile using common D tools
(namely, dub). It is using a different build system, which allows it to
generate and build quite easily, but would likely create headaches for
dub users."

These are some strong claims, would you care to back them up with some
numbers?

Also, could you give more details about the library? Or the build
system? It may turn out that the library itself is not likely to be a
source of your income, but the build system can be. Who knows... Unless
you give more details, you are not likely to get reasonable answers.

Just my opinion...

Martin
