What are you planning for 2016?

[Kapps via Digitalmars-d]

I have a couple of libraries I was intending to make that were 
waiting for either language changes or other technologies that 
should be doable in 2016.

I was thinking of trying to make a GUI library that's similar to 
Xamarin Forms, but with D and using something other than Xaml for 
the UI markup. The goal would be full data-binding support with 
various backends (Qt being the most likely one, and maybe native 
Android / iOS bindings). Proper extern(C++) support should help a 
lot here, though sadly I'll still have to make a C wrapper 
library since we can't use C++ constructors yet. Now that Android 
/ iOS development is getting practical, the lack of a mobile GUI 
library is going to be an issue, so the purpose of this would be 
primarily mobile with hopefully desktop support as well.

Also might look at trying to make a game / engine using Vulkan 
with a high performance Component-Entity-System approach. Have 
the CES bit started, but was waiting on Vulkan support which 
seems to be coming soon. The (probable) lack of OSX support will 
be very annoying though.

In terms of commercial, I have a very small business starting 
which will hopefully be able to make use of D for at least some 
small web APIs. I think vibe.d should be a good cross-platform 
solution for easy deployment behind an existing web server. Plus 
vibe.d is quite nice and I think D has the unexplored potential 
to be a fantastic solution for dealing with databases, with 
support for things like Partial objects being doable very nicely.
