I do agree to a certain degree.
std lib is not really that small, but sure it is never enough.
Lack of std GUI lib, I honestly I'm perfectly fine with it.
Tools on the other hand, do suck. The only way I could debug my
prototype code involving std.concurrency and some OpenGL code was
learning to use GDB from the command line, because GUI debuggers
would fail horribly. Editors are so-so, compiler-as-a-library
needs some extra time before work on it starts.
Documentation is just not good enough. Perhaps I can start doing
some pulls for the docs, since I'm still a n00b of the language
but at least not a complete beginner anymore.
Thanks God we have at least DUB.
BTW: we really need to get a BIG link to dub package registry in
the home page, or at least on the side bar.
