(I know I'm posting a lot lately, but I'm simply curious :D)
To pass the time I've been writing a thingy to show the downloads
of dub packages over time.
I thought to myself "how many dub packages are actually used?"
So here's a few stats I've compiled. The Weekly and Monthly
snapshots were taken 1 day ago:
```
TOTAL PACKAGES PERCENTAGE
1000000 5 0.24%
100000 41 2.01%
10000 165 7.90%
1000 375 17.96%
100 1058 50.67%
10 1619 77.54%
1 2018 96.65%
MONTHLY PACKAGES PERCENTAGE
10000 13 0.63%
1000 48 2.30%
100 113 5.41%
10 287 13.75%
5 367 17.58%
1 657 31.47%
WEEKLY PACKAGES PERCENTAGE
1000 20 0.98%
100 70 3.35%
10 149 7.14%
5 191 9.15%
1 309 14.80%
```
This is just off of data that I've scraped from dub, hence this
likely isn't too accurate.
But when I look at these numbers I personally think "is it even
worth wasting time making a dub library?"
I wonder what the average age of the most used/median used/least
used packages are, and what categories they'd fall under.
Hopefully others find this of interest, even if it's not very
enlightening on its own.
