Hi Vasyl,

thanks a lot for your interest in D.

I haven't worked with graphs for quite a while, but I think 
Dgraph [1] is still the only existing graph library written in D.
Maybe someone else knows more about this?
@community: would you like to have a better graph library?

I was just thinking about this and if you love to work on graphs, 
maybe we could combine this with a dub-related project (e.g. the 
dependencies are a DAG too, though at the moment it's a Tree [2]).

I think the best person to ask would be Joseph Wakeling 
(https://github.com/WebDrake) as he's the author of Dgraph [1] 
and was a GSoC mentor in the past.
