I watched the first half of the video, and although I did get a 
few good ideas for ae.utils.graphics, I wouldn't say it's all 
that different. Why do you say GIL takes a more academic approach?

One thing I noticed is just how much GIL works around C++ 
language limitations. I think a direct translation wouldn't be 
suitable for D.
