Hi! I'm a newbie so beware :(


When you create a new langauge like D how do you create the libraries
to work with the operating system (for instance Windows) ? Do you
create wrappers around the OS API or do you create assembly code to
work with the Operating system? For instance : window management -
How would you create a D(X,Y,Z,etc) compatible library to work with
the operating system window management system? Or would you create on
your window management system?


Confusing, right? :( I know....


Can any of you show me an example of what would be the perfect
solution for the libraries problems?


I don't understand what you folks mean when you say "native D(X,F,etc)
library instead of a wrapper library"... Anyone cares to explain,
give some links where can I find this info...


My views: a native D(new language) library would be made in assembly
code which would eventually call (respect) the operating system
API....


I'm lost...


Thanks for your help and attention.
