Well sort of. Calling from Java into any C, C++ or D library can be a
bit of a pain, involving JNI (or possibly JNA). JOGL has shown that Java
calling OpenGL is doable and works. Likewise JavaFX connects into the
OpenGL infrastructure. So this is now essentially a solved problem.

What is much more of a problem for Java is GPGPU parallelism. There are
a couple of groups working on this and there will be a solution. There
has to be as the team members of one of the teams actually have to make
it work or start losing money.

SCons currently has no real "play" in this dependency management area
and given that all the support in the D community appears to be for Dub,
there seems no point in adding the features to SCons.  Gradle has all
the dependency management stuff sorted already and now has C and C++
build capability. I wonder if it might be worth adding D support to
that?
