I have the same feeling. I used D quite a lot around 1.007-1.0028, and  
every library broke with each release. And new bugs were introduced each  
release. It was a big PITA.
It seems the situation has gotten a lot better, so I hope I'll be able to  
use D for a small project now.

As for mysqln, I merged jrogers patches and changed uint to size_t so it  
compiles on x64.
You can look at it here:  
https://github.com/simendsjo/mysqln/tree/compile-on-recent-dmd
It hasn't been tested beyond connecting to the database and fetching  
metadata yet.
And my repository will go away very soon as I'll rather help with the  
original library (if Steve Teale comes back) or the one in vibe.
