Im sure he meant if he needs something thats not yet available 
then he'll just write it.  D is a community effort so obviously 
many ppl need to chip in.  I pretty much use the usual Python/JS 
combo professionally and there are a ton of battle tested 
libraries and frameworks but innovation always brings new 
techniques and libraries that eventually replace old stuff.  If 
the attitude was "well Java has X and countless others" then none 
of the newer languages would every get build.  Look at how React 
has pretty much taken over (well at least for me) that is new and 
so is the countless community driven projects evolving around 
React.

Like anything D does need more things like better Database 
support, web frameworks, etc but it will get there. Who knows in 
a couple years maybe you will be doing everything in D.
