Yea, great idea... O wait... where are people going to add things 
again? O right ... Simply keep yelling add to std when NOBODY 
WANTS TO DO THAT. Just dump everything into the one git massive 
library with no more control of the author!!!

Did you not read that D has a different crowd. That a lot of 
people using D seem to be more into propitiatory code.

No, it does not work like that. You create separate gits that are 
part of a D library where the authors can write / maintain the 
code. Its easier on them, more easy to maintain because of 
separate bug trackers and it fits in with the whole forum std 
splits / dedicated forums.

Read everything....

If you bothered reading what i write as a whole, you can clearly 
see where the focus points need to be and what is clearly 
lacking. They do not contradict each other. Only if you decide to 
strip them in each part and then comment like a wiseass.

Do what you want with your idiotic replies. Its this attitude 
that drives people away. You want people to help, well this is 
NOT the way to motivate people.

Simply keep yelling add to standard library when people do NOT 
want that. And no offense but D there standard library is one of 
the weakest among the new languages. Yet, there is code out there 
where people WANTED to add to the library that is rotting away 
simply because nobody here does anything beyond yelling:

Maybe you want to freaking ask the authors of for instants 
std.database etc why they feel unwilling to add it to the 
standard library git. And if you ever did project management, you 
know exactly where. People do not like to lose control over there 
projects. That is AGAIN why you need separate gits, under the D 
lang branch, but where the authors still have control over there 
code.

F*ck this. Its like talking to walls. Anyway, do what you want. I 
have my own projects to deal with and i can write around the 
lacking libraries, documentation etc. Unfortunately, not 
everybody can and its those people you are hurting with that 
wiseass attitude. Good luck getting new people motivated in D 
like that.
