The D language feature is great, however the library has some 
problems.

But you can always use language *built-in* containers: array, 
Associative Arrays

https://dlang.org/spec/arrays.html
https://dlang.org/spec/hash-map.html

to get most things done, also there are algorithms in the std 
library:

https://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm.html
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_range.html

For small programs, these built-ins normally are good enough.

If you do want to use D in your project (instead of having 
competition restrictions), you can check

https://code.dlang.org/

for user contributed libraries. If you still can’t find what you 
want, then you need to have some hacker spirit to write you own 
libraries. Welcome to the D world :-)
