Unfortunately since Qt is written for C++, I don't think there
is any easy way to use the Qt classes from D. AFAIK, D
is unable to call C++ functions, and I don't think there are any
wrappers for Qt that allow it to be used by any other language.
D can be used with any other toolkit that utilizes plain C functions,
as long as you are careful about passing data to them.

If someone has more info about this, please let me know.

But anybody can port it to D. Who is a volunteer? :)

You can call C++ using some "extern C" functions written in C++. Some people
related to the Mono project have developed Qt for C#:

It is based on a Qt C wrapper. It would be a good place to look for
inspiration.
