Why do people always treat D like a mainstream language? It isn't.
But things like shared libraries that will become necessary once it
becomes mainstream. Lack of shared library support is one of the
barriers to it becoming mainstream (among many other things).
The chance that one has more than a few real D apps on one's machine
is quite low. The chance that they use the very same version of
phobos/druntime is even lower.
And usually the only ones you actually use are developed by yourself
anyway.
I rather have a slightly bigger executable than having my system
cluttered with hundreds of phobos versions I don't need.
Um, that's what you use a package manager for...
Even if you would use a package manager to install the
applications/libraries it would still be cluttered with different
versions of Phobos.
