At the first D meetup in the Silicon Valley, Vic (an accomplished

for improving D's adoption. He mentioned some other languages have
improved adoption by means of a strong application (e.g. Rails for Ruby)
and suggested we make vibe.d, which is one of D's most compelling
publicly available applications, more prominent among D's toolchain. He
mentioned that many folks start with the high-level need ("I need a web
framework") and accept the language as an artifact.
Rails is not shipped with ruby. You have to install it separately. In
fact, vibe.d follows almost the same model as rails (I may be sketchy on
the details, still learning ruby/rails), with gem substituting for dub.
I think what we need is dub to be shipped with d (If it's not already).
