Forget Phobos, be agile: get your stuff out on GitHub and into the Dub
repository early, announce it, get people using it and feeding back to
improve it. Be first to market and get traction.

The evolution of Go, Rust, and Ceylon has been about library
development not in the central library but in easily accessed and used
third-party libraries. Yes the central library core is important, but
the real development, and traction, action is outside that.
