there is no one, true, only to be used, library. D supports diversity.
Using Walter's words this is a "trite platitude".
Comments such as these are akin to saying "D is carbon neutral"
without a supporting argument.
Can you please support your argument with more substance, i.e.
more sausage and less sizzle. :-)
Is the fact there are two libraries, and not one, or twenty, a strength,
and not a weakness, of the language and the D community.
For example, see this list of (approx 100) C++ libraries:

I think that this large number of libraries, just leads to fragmentation
of effort by the C++ community.
