Hello everyone, I'm a new user of the language (I've been playing around
with it for some months) and I'm really liking it.
One minor thing that I didn't particularly like was what (and how) DUB
spits out stuff to the terminal, in the sense that I find the output a
bit difficult to navigate i.e. I can't easily understand, at a first
glance, what's going on. Given that I tried various languages recently,
including their package manager, and seeing how much clearer their
output was, I think DUB could also be improved in the same way. The main
thing that would make the output clearer would be to color the output
and format it a bit better, IMHO. It would also look way prettier.
Given that this seemed like an easy task, I already implemented a
proof-of-concept just to see how that would look like and, in my
opinion, now it's really clear what's going on. Take a look at these
screenshots:

Looks excellent! Two thumbs up from me. Is it cross-platform?
Note on some platforms (ahem, Macos) the background is white, so this
should be correctly colored for that possibility.
