Im fairly confident that raylib bindings will continue to be 
aviable in some form forever; they are mostly generated and the 
stuff on top like overloads airnt hard to meta program, theres 
like 5 forks.

Adr will continue adr-ing as far as I can tell, idk how he writes 
1k lines a day, even if it isnt code Id write (and dirty secret 
its often oo), its an option; I ended up just using his file 
watching as is when I gave up untangling it. 5 lines of code and 
I had 1 of my wishlist functions api. I found another thru 
phoboes.

Dead code isnt *that* bad, it just means its your problem to fix 
bugs or more likely ignore the docs and test it like a black box, 
but its not going anywhere, you could even keep local copies.

It is whats there, im at the point where I prefer using compiler 
bugs that I know have been there for years(easily testable using 
dlang.io) over wontfixes (such as delegates)

Rust has its horror stories and c++ is c++; raw unbounded 
templates are not yet realized as the nessery next step for 
generic programming; people are chasing the oo or safety dreams. 
In d we have the simplest syntax and best compiler bugs; all 
while actually compiling fast.
