I can only speak for the IDE part of your post: I'm working on it, and
I'm almost alone.
So if you want to do something for D, get your hands dirty.
Ary,
Lots of us are getting our hands dirty in the hopeful expectation of all the
things described. I'm working on a web application server, and that includes
database interfaces. I can't take on more. But when it comes to a mechanism for
adding to Phobos, or even a mechanism to determine if anyone is actually
interested, D is sadly lacking. The two library situation is just a joke. The
comment about absence of management should be taken very seriously.
If nothing is done about it, D will die. It may already be too late - these
discussions have been going on as long as I can remember!

Steve,
Sorry, I thought many of the people that complain about D are just users
of D and do nothing for it. I'm not saying that everyone should
contribute, but if they don't contribute, then don't criticize. But I
don't know who contributes and complains and who doesn't, so sorry.
Back to the discussion: why Tango is considered a standard library? And
again: can't it be changed to a normal library instead of a standard
one? Why does it *need* to be a standard library?
