Yes, and eventually I found it - when I searched with "Ruby 
Simple Declarative Language". My point was not that it doesn't 
exist, but that it much harder than it should have been to search 
for it.


BTW - I tried, just to see what I get, to search for a Python 
implementation:

"Python SDL", as expected, yields only results related to Simple 
DirectMedia Layer.

"Python Simple Declarative Language" the only related thing I 
find ikayzo's github page(which contains SDLang implementations 
for Java, .NET and Ruby - but not for Python).


And here comes the fun part:

"Python SDLang" does not find the SDLang implementation for 
Python - at least not on the first page.

But - the first 3 results are about an SDL implementation...

... it's SDLang-D!

Yes, you got that right - I searched for something related to 
Python(!!!) and got a result for D. So yea, maybe SDLang wasn't 
created specifically for DUB, but it might as well have been. 
Either that, or D suddenly became more popular than Python. I'll 
let you judge which of these two alternatives is more probable.
