Well dmd isn't any simpler than dub.
and i have to write 'dubfile' to pull that library.
We plan to support single files with dub
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/issues/103).
and... uh-oh, internet connection. and... ah, forget it!"
Seriously, internet connection, well you can fetch packages and use them
locally.
and there is rdmd, which is *very* handy for scripting. i found myself
writing alot of CLI scripts in D instead of bash/tcl/smth-other.
See single file support in dub.
and last, but not least: not everyone wants to switch to dub.
What's the problem?
let phobos have alot of things. thay may be suboptimal, but at least
they are here when someone needs 'em.
No, it means we (a few people) have to maintain all that stuff.

That's 1 approach to asynchronous computation and callbacks have severe
drawbacks. I'm happy to see that someone sat down and wrote that
epoll/kqueue/IOCP abstraction but I don't think there is a standard
async solution.
