Great stuff! I am definitely in favor of a pure D GUI. And again, 
D has the benefit of hindsight.

Lua might work, because it's cross platform in the sense that you 
can deliver a stand alone interpreter, and it's fast. However, I 
wonder why this should be necessary. A pure D solution might be 
better.
