I don't know if this can be considered "major functionality",
but I
would be really really happy if there was a high-quality linear
algebra
library available for D. Or at the very least, a generic
matrix/vector
algebra module that can interoperate with more targeted
libraries
(something along the lines of Blitz++ in C++).
gl3n would be a good candidate for a standard vector/matrix
library, the big feature missing is intrinsics support (aka
SSE,AltiVec,VMX and Neon vector operations)
I can't say that these exist in other standard libraries
either, but I
want:
1. A high-performance sockets API.
2. A robust logging tool (ie. Boost.Log).
I thought std.log is in the queue? Or is it not powerful enough
for what
you need?
