Thanks. Good to know that, however, a lot of that stuff came too 
late for me personally (and it wasn't lack of patience but 
necessity), and while vibe.d may be stable - for now - what about 
all the other libs out there? It's still a big gamble with all 
that talk of std.v2 (which I think is necessary). But if I'll 
have to rewrite my D code one day anyway, I might as well switch 
to a different language all together, do it once and be done with 
it. I don't think I'm alone in this respect. Other users seem to 
have made similar experiences.
