digitalmars.D.learn - Is it possible to target all platforms that Qt Quick can target?

Hi,

I'm writing my GUI in C++ & Qt Quick.  I know that I could 
connect to D from the GUI code using a DLL, but can something 
similar be done on the other PC OS's and the mobile OS's?

Thanks.

I am interested in both.  If I begin coding in D today, it will 
likely be 8 months until the backend is completed.

Looking at https://wiki.dlang.org/GUI_Libraries there are some wrappers to =
Qt
for D, including dqml. I think some may not be as maintained as it would be
nice to have. Actually it would be nice if there was one standard D wrapper
for Qt and QML as there is GtkD the one true D wrapper to GTK+.

I cannot use QML for D or other D Qt libraries.  I'm writing 
something important and need all of Qt Creator and its C++ 
editing environment.  I don't wish to go through the bad 
experience of using those libraries.  I've tried it before.

I do D in Visual D, and that would be for the backend only, 
connected to the GUI code using a dynamic library.

I will assume the answer is no, D is not support that yet 
(targeting all platforms with a dynamic library, all platforms 
that Qt Quick supports).
