How D could gain more traction?

I understand such a library collection would have many holes 
right now, but movement also creates its own momentum. I just 
think it would be good that dlang.org provided some more guidance.

I don't know, I hope to get some time on lazy Sundays to finally 
read Alexandrescu's book which I bought quite long ago, then 
start using D for more hobby projects and get to know more 
libraries and maybe get involved in the projects.

Yeah but Java's standard library itself includes many such 
utilities, and I think it was the key ingredient for its success 
in the 90s, together with the multi-platform support, but imo 
even more instrumental.

But probably the best example to follow for D both in general and 
at this point, which is forgot to mention, is Python. Its success 
story is almost unbelievable: the language design is godawful, so 
many people like it, but I can't help thinking that they just 
love what they can do with it, because "there's one package for 
that" always which is standard de facto.

If D had got the same amount of community involvement, it would 
have a complete kitchen sink standard library collection by now. 
But I think those two things have to go in sync.
