Does anyone know if there are bindings for the gobject family of librares (glib, Gnome, clutter, etc) available for the D language that use the GIR introspection mechanism?
I would like to write an app targeting GTK 3 and Clutter. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find them. Given that GIR should allow bindings to be generated automatically for all libraries that have introspection information available, this surprises me. Does such a thing actually exist? (One big drawback of D is that it's practically impossible to search for on Google...)
(Incidentally, I do know about gtkD, but that only targets GTK 2 and doesn't do Clutter.)
Project giD (nicknamed "giddy") provides auto-generated bindings for most frequently used GNOME/GTK libraries.

At the moment of writing this text giddy provides bindings for the following libraries:
We will soon have Gtk 3 too, and will also add Vte 2 as it depends on Gtk 3. Focus for the first stable release is on Gtk 4 and Gtk 3, and related libraries.
All these bindings are generated using the "gidgen" project ( https://github.com/Kymorphia/gidgen ) so if giddy is missing a library, it is easy to generate binding for it if there is a Gir file for it. Most of the time it is as easy as having a one-line gidgen "def" file!
The author also provides a separate GitHub project that demonstrates Gtk 4 binding - https://github.com/Kymorphia/gid-gtk4-examples
