The community will have to do this.
They are part of the community. I'm not saying Andrei or Walter
should write an http/https2, json, etc.
lib. They need to actively help build and grow the
community/workforce that collectively make those things happen.
Or pay someone part-time or full time to do that.
If Walter and Andrei were interested in it, they'd have been
working on it long ago. They have way too much to do the way it
is,
They speak for themselves.
and as soon as it becomes official, there are rules and rules
about rules and six levels of bureaucracy.
I did say those things are missing in the standard library but it
doesn't have to be in Phobos to receive upstream support.
There are a list of things developers need to build killer apps
and web services in D. The larger the workforce, the more likely
we get people to contribute in those areas (theory, code, tools,
documentation, tutorials, libraries, promotions, solutions,
etc). And those things are equally important in every popular
programming language today to continue to gain wider adoption.
