The main problem with SDL is it's name. It's not an overly 
popular project - it doesn't even have an article in Wikipedia. 
That alone is not a problem - if we had something against 
non-mainstream project we wouldn't be using D - the problem with 
SDL's lack of popularity shares it's initials with "Simple 
DirectMedia Layer" - a super-popular project with binding for 
most languages. This makes it very hard to google for Dimple 
Declarative Languae - because most of the things you'll find are 
about Simple DirectMedia Layer.
