What kind of GUI app are you going to make?

For some cases, DlangUI could be good choice 
https://github.com/buggins/dlangui

* Native D implementation (not a wrapper)
* Cross platform Windows/Linux/OSX
* Customizable look&feel using themes
* OpenGL accelerated drawing (optional)
* If necessary, custom OpenGL drawing may be mixed with widgets

Sample big project which utilizes DlangUI is DlangIDE - D 
language IDE written in D.
