Generally phobos should be compelling in and of itself and grow
in breadth and depth over time.
Well it can never encompass all the library code people write, it
having a way lower threshold. In that regard I suppose Phobos
does well when it tries to support libraries by developing good
low/mid-level code. Stuff like std.algorithms, collections and
ndslice. But do you really want to put a ODBC client in there, as
an example? Or a grayscale filter?
I think a facility for asynchronous HTTP fetching would be a
great addition. Your code looks pretty rad and well integrated
with the rest of Phobos. I encourage you to pursue merging it
to Phobos.
Thanks. It is more an async/observable library than anything
else. And it depends on vibe.d. When I get rid of the vibe.d
dependency, or make it optional, I might consider prepping it up
for inclusion.
