At this point I'm still a noob so still haven't gone through all
the docs yet.
Up until now I find the Docs site extremely helpful and well
designed, and I also like the fact that when I installed D
through the package manager, everything was neatly taken care
along with a desktop version of the docs site.
I have one general question, since I see the DWT library
mentioned as part of the main ecosystem.
Is DWT considered as the official UI framework?
With Java I use SWT for desktop and RWT (part of Eclipse RAP) for
web UI development as my main framework, and if DWT is to be the
official UI for D, then that would be great news for me.
I did not find DWT though in the DUB repository, so at this point
I've checked it out from Git.
Having a few issues when compiling for 64bit, but that I guess is
something that I'll take care of along the way.. :)
