Hi Clipsey,

A big part of gimp is the plugins, may of which are packaged with 
it.

So i wonder if there are any plugins for gimp written in D: it 
would
seem to be possible in principle at least.

In fact, i was searching for such a thing when i found this 
thread.

I did not find any plugins written in D for gimp on github, but 
maybe my
github skills are too poor.

So i wonder if the glimpse people have tried writing plugins in 
some
of the languages they are considering, just as a way of assessing 
how
comfortable they are in these different candidate languages.

(And, if you do know of any gimp plugins written in D, please lmk 
and tia.)
