That's one thing I've always admired Java for. At least for 
containers.

  D has solid generic algorithms thanks to Andrei among others.

Containers and common data formats (json, XML, CSV,..) I'm not 
sure we're there yet.

However, there's solid implementations on dub (vibe.data.json, 
std_data_json, dxml,...) so I personally don't have trouble 
getting things done.

But those are core things that rarely change so fit into a 
standard library for easy get-go.
