D, as a compiler, might be amazing but without any proper tools
to make it do things that are common, it won't be used much. By
proper, I mean "officially supported". (basically it means
Walter and Andrei come out and decide to support one of the
current packages or to start the push on a new one)
This would accomplish little unless Walter and Andrei actually
invested their own time working on such "officially supported"
packages; although they are highly respected and have veto power
over things like language changes, no one around here actually
takes orders from them.
My point was that their time is better spent on what they are
already doing: improving the core language facilities, to make it
easier for others who are so inclined to build/bind to the
library solutions you are looking for.
