There are still somethings that fail to parse.(but thats a minor 
thing )
But the "problem" i see is that is a separate project. I have to 
clone it, make a working executable (that had problems on windows 
on the first time that i tried , but it was solved), then make a 
dpp file (instead of just working with D files ).
Not sure how it work with header only libs.

Its not that we can´t do nice stuff with it, but this little 
frictions slowly build up, and u start to look for alternatives.

And it feels like outside the realm of D.
(where do a manage all this ? postScripts in dub files?, 
makefiles? caching? )

I questioned a few days ago about an integration of dpp with dub 
that i heard last year (that can potentially decrease this 
friction ), but nobody answered me.
