This is the only point in the rant that I can agree with. I've 
been stung a few times by dub dependencies preventing me from 
building a project. It's nothing to do with the language itself 
though and I think complaining about it is completely wrong. 
Rather than moaning here you should be creating a bug report for 
whichever project you find problems with or even better 
contributing a fix.

I spend most of my time working with Java so have gotten used to 
having a huge amount free libs & tools because the eco-system 
around Java is huge. The D community is tiny by comparison so 
there's far less in that respect. That hasn't stopped me wanting 
to use D though, I can still see benefits to using it and I 
prefer it to Rust or Go.
