Code Poet, an IDE for D

[Jeremie Pelletier]

It's been some time since I last posted to this newsgroup, I've been 
quite busy these past weeks!

Among other things, I started writing an IDE for D from scratch and 
opened a SourceForge project for it a few minutes ago, I'll also open a 
dsource project to link to the sf one in the following days.

At first I tried to code it in D using wxD but soon found out the 
limitations of these bindings, then I tried to write my own wxWidgets 
bindings which worked great until i realized I was leaking memory like 
hell and had a hard time linking garbage collected D objects to C++ 
reference counted objects without adding complex overhead.

So after spending two weeks on these failed attempts, I jumped back into 
C++ after two years of almost only writing D code, this time using 
boost, and boy is that library sweet!

Here is the (very simple) website of the project, with a screenshot of 
the program so far, the content is hard coded for now to test the custom 
editor painting routines.
