I completely agree that the availability of libraries is a huge 
factor.  I almost gave up on D because of the limited amount of 
3rd party libs.
I think just improving the search function would help.

Comes up with nothing, so I started porting a sha3/keccak lib 
from C to D.  Then someone pointed out botan has sha3 support, 
which can be found if you search for "crypto"
