This is how responses should be, so thanks for adding to the 
conversation, unlike the initial commenter.

I do think, as there has been multiple proposed libraries for 
audio/CV/UI models, that some collaboration and merging of the 
more similar modules would benefit greatly from the combined 
effort and increased output, as getting these kinds of libraries 
off the ground seems to be quite slow at first. I'd love to start 
using some CV libraries in D for video processing.
