Thanks for your perspective. Just a few things are unclear to me:

Can you elaborate a bit on this?
The lack of set and B-tree types is disappointing (esp. considering that the much younger Rust has them). I'm using rbtree for sets but that imposes a requirement that my items support < (rather than the == or hash I'd expect for a set).
This confuses me. So there is std.container.rbtree, but you don't like that the element type needs to have an order defined? How can Rust do binary search in a tree that has no order? If you are looking for a hashset, you can use an associative array for that.
However, dub doesn't seem to be competitive with Rust's cargo. Getting fast statically built (no dependency) executables is really nice.
I've heard good things about cargo, but haven't used it myself yet.
Do you have a specific thing dub can improve the most on?
