There is nothing theoretical about this, I am only concerned 
about the language, not the standard library. The same with C++.

One usually don't judge a system level language based on its 
libraries. System level usage of the same system level language 
can be very different because people use different core 
libraries. So there is essentially no reason to complain about 
D's libraries.

If you look for system level programming you also essentially 
agree to writing the libraries you need or create bindings to 
whatever system you intend to build for.  I am not interested in 
Phobos, I am not fond of it and I don't focus on it since I don't 
have to use it. I am interested in the language/runtime, not 
libraries which I understand that I have to do on my own.
