10 Years of Derelict

[Kyle Hunter via Digitalmars-d-announce]

When I choose a programming language to work on a problem, one of 
the factors I look at is whether there are enough tools and 
libraries to construct a solution in a reasonable amount of time.

Back when I was looking at D for game development – and I still 
am – there was Derelict. And now, there still is Derelict. 
Without it, I probably would've wrote D off for this specific 
task.

I'm hoping in another few years, we'll have nice idiomatic D 
wrappers on top of Derelict for most things. There are a lot of 
promising projects out there, many that are quite nice already 
(gfm, for example). Derelict oft serves as the basis for these 
projects, eliminating a lot of the front load.

Thanks to Mike Parker and all of the other contributors for 
developing and maintaining Derelict for these 10 long years.

Regards,
Kelet
