(as there are people who are still interested in the project and might still use it) I hear what you are saying, but maybe there is value in some of those abandoned projects for people who want to get ideas, so who am I to judge? I can only judge what I would look for… One thing I like about the micro-examples approach that p0nce has taken is that they can be automatically tested against the latest compiler, so that makes the whole "outdated" question objective. :-)

It is probably better that the current maintainers remove stuff, I think people would get upset if someone else started to wipe out projects that haven’t recieved updates in a year or that are just not ready for consumption. I don't think that's the case - just open a PR removing old stuff, the maintainers will check that the links are indeed old and no longer necessary or they will tell you that it's kept because of reason XYZ.

It's somehow out of date with the game engines I guess. I just clicked through many of the Github repos (not the ones for games). Xomb had not been touched since 2013, Warp not since 2015… A mixed bag. Your list will become more useful, I think.

When I need one, I just make it inline. I'm considering adding one for version 12 though, which would come out in June 2023. We'll see.

I expected tips for this or that library. Also, arsd has a good history of being maintained, building with D compilers and keep existing, which are not exactly common in DUB packages.

I always read "How good really is X?" as "this is bad" and "How bad really is X?" as "this is good" probably because for the french the best appreciation you can get is "not bad!" Brazilian here and it's the same for me. Like for example, you can browse and see things like: "Is this cheap guitar brand really bad?" And then you watch the review and this good guitar player surprises everyone with a good sound from that cheap guitar. Usually titles like: Is "something" really bad? - Shows just the opposite. Is "something" really good? - Probably will show how bad that thing is. At least for me and for what I've been seeing online. Finally about your OT, this a good initiative and nice to see these implementations in D. Matheus.

This is a nice initiative, Thanks! But may I offer a suggestion: The phrase "How bad really is the D ecosystem?" only asks a question, but people tend to interpret such sentences as "D's ecosystem is really bad". What works better is: "How good really is the D ecosystem?"

The DIID series (Do It In D)
How bad really is the D ecosystem? I've started the DIID series, a good old snippet collection for you to copy/paste. A series of article to highlight how shockingly easy some things are in D today. https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#DIID-#1---Parse-XML-file https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#DIID-#2---Play-music https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#DIID-#3---Convert-Markdown-to-HTML https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#DIID-#4---Draw-an-accelerated-triangle https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#DIID-#5---Draw-a-triangle-in-a-PDF https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#DIID-#6---Parse-JSON-file All code in one place at: https://github.com/p0nce/DIID Preferred topics: - promote ecosystem-ey ways to do a common (but not completely trivial) task, - with a business-friendly licence - provide full source code / snippet - DUB and _maintained_ libraries only - ideally works with "dub run" - works at least on Linux and Windows - no talk If you have ideas that enter in that mindset, you are welcome to contribute articles or article ideas, as I fear the ecosystem has lots of undiscovered power for the people to wield. I'd be curious to hear about how a few lines of package X solves problem Y for you.
