Hi Atila,

you are talking about cross language builds ?
Other than that limitation, what do you miss ?
I have a couple of rather sizable projects running with dub 
without problems and one could argue vibe.d is a pretty big 
project too which works fine.

The D community already suffered enough from not uniting 
workforces behind at least SOME standards (hint at tango), a 
plethora of options for newcomers to choose from for basics like 
building is also daunting IMHO.
