But try to look at repos with high star count for D (and other 
languages) on GitHub.

Most of them are not bread-and-butter (except for some 
web-stuff), I think?

Is that because people tend to use only Phobos, Mir and Vibe?  
Anyway, it suggests that people don't focus on building 
libraries. So maybe people don't find the language easy enough to 
use for that purpose? Dunno.

It could also mean that the more language-oriented programmers 
have moved on to explore newer languages, and that D are 
appealing more to utility oriented programers.

The number of repos with more than 10 stars was lower than I 
would expect.
