I wouldn't say almost no one.  I know Sql Alchemy is very popular 
and used by a lot of ppl. Ive used and not used ORMs on numerous 
projects and sometimes they make sense and sometimes they do not. 
  I agree its not needed but alot of these tools are used by 
average developers and not having them isn't going to help D.   
Not that we don't need them but when ppl say "Well I like D but 
find there are missing libraries I want"  A decent ORM would 
prolly be one of them.  Basically if Rust continues to get these 
libraries and they are decent then they will def attract more ppl 
to the language instead of them possibly coming to D if that is 
important which I know has been brought up before and I think 
projects and tools like these with further attract ppl.
