D adoption prerequisites

[Unknown W. Brackets]

Speak for yourself.  I do web-based stuff in D already.

We just need a good library that properly exposes them, you're right.  I 
don't know that this has to be *the* standard library, but it must be 
*a* standard library.... e.g. "std.xyz", "web.xyz", "gui.xyz" would be fine.

My point is only that the problem is not *only* with GUI.
