What kind of stuff would you need? I admit I did spend several
weekends doing prep work on libraries before proposing it to the
client - had to write mysql, cgi, http get and post, my xml code, and
some helper functions to extend std.json before I was confident enough
in having the libraries to propose it, but now I have that, and can
share if it sounds useful.
The only place where library lacking has hit me so far is interfacing
with Facebook. For that part of the app, I still use PHP. I'd like to
port it eventually, implementing oauth and such in a nice, generic
way, but I haven't gotten around to it yet... still, the vast majority
of what I need I can do now in plain D.
It would be nice to have a web library for D, but my web development has
been almost exclusively for shared hosting environments. Also, most web
developers know PHP while zero know D. Clients would see that as lock-in.
