this has been the fundamental issue for me. its not just missing 
libs, its libs that are surfaced via a C-binding, which in my 
limited experience have been difficult to use and make 
portability hard.

I think D is a superior language to Go, but Go has a very 
complete SDK and its all written in Go, so I don't have to worry 
about chasing down native libs to install.
