On the other hand, depending on what is being done, the ecosystem 
need might be relatively simple. For instance, if one needs just 
your average GUI widget library with no interest for any advanced 
library features, there is no major difference between D and Go. 
Both have fully functional GUI libraries, so it makes sense to 
let the language features to decide which one to prefer.

Of course, the above applies only to some applications. Not 
nearly every application is so independent of the ecosystem.
