I like dlang but i don't like dub

[Alain De Vos via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Dlang includes some good ideas.
But dub pulls in so much stuff. Too much for me.
I like things which are clean,lean,little,small.
But when i use dub it links with so many libraries.
Are they really needed ?
And how do you compare to pythons pip.
Feel free to elaborate.
