[GSoC] [BioRuby] Final GSoC report

[Artem Tarasov]

Hi,

Unfortunately, the problem is on the side of D. PyD wiki (
https://bitbucket.org/ariovistus/pyd/wiki/Home) says that "extension
libraries are nominally working with LDC (FE 2.060 or later); however,
druntime currently limits what can be done here".

However, this issue has become quite popular in last months, see e.g. this
thread:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mailman.1330.1345434177.31962.digitalmars-d@puremagic.com
—
so maybe this'll get fixed soon.
