Go has this problem of no findability of all the good libraries due to no
central repository of source libraries. C and C++ have nothing at all unless
you count Conan. Python has PyPI, Rust has crates.io, D has Dub, Java/Scala
has Maven and JCenter. Of course Go and Rust allow you to use DVCS to get at
libraries and this is a wonderful feature – when added to a central repository
as with Rust.

So Phobos not having stuff is probably just D being modern. Is it in Dub, no
idea but at least D has a central repository. Dub working with DVCS as well as
the central repository would be a good thing.
