       | So,.i went to check out the dlang bindings on the bindings page
       | 
       | https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/BINDINGS.md
       | 
       | The ones linked there 404s. But i found these bindings:

       | https://code.dlang.org/packages/re-raylib-d?tab=info
       | 
       | For a fork of raylib found here
       | 
       | https://github.com/xdrie/raylib
       | 
       | From what i can tell though, this fork is 11 commits behind the
       | master branch but was updated a few days ago so i'm a bit
       | confused...

         | 
         | Though it looks like it is for Raylib 3.0 (latest is 3.5).

       | I listened to a podcast interview with Ray and I loved his

       | me was the challenges he personally had to keep features out that
       | he knew would add complexity to using the library. Something
       | about a creator having a vision for their project and staying
       | true to it just brings me joy!

       | Why is this being shown off as simple and easy to use? Or am I
       | misunderstanding the project page's message?

         | 
         | And from my personal experience with raylib I can attest that
         | it is easy-to-use.

           | sounded like an oxymoron.
