I'm not sure how long dub has been around, but having an easy

I completely agree that the availability of libraries is a huge
factor. I almost gave up on D because of the limited amount of
3rd party libs.
I think just improving the search function would help.

Comes up with nothing, so I started porting a sha3/keccak lib
from C to D. Then someone pointed out botan has sha3 support,
which can be found if you search for "crypto"
