No need to trawl github, just go to code.dlang.org and you'll 
quickly find what libs are available and which ones are actively 
maintained.

And I would have appreciated if Middle East guys stopped fighting 
and made their region nice and pleasant as Switzerland. Or if 
folks of Sudan and Uganda made their countries as prosperous and 
convenient to live in as Singapore and Germany. That would make 
life simpler and easier, for many newcomers. ;)

You are exactly the 146-th person to come here and say "std lib 
should be richer, and more docs and tutorials should be written". 
Unfortunately there is no automatic tool to convert these 
requests and suggestions into reality without using a lot of 
manpower.
