It's been about 10 years since I last dipped my toes in the D waters.

At the time (v 2.067) I stumbled across some surprisingly bad warts in the standard library that prevented me from using it for my intended purposes which writing software tools for bioinformatics.

As other posters have noted, language elegance is secondary to the ecosystem when you want to get things done.

For anyone who has been using D for an extended period, has the D ecosystem improved / expanded considerably in the last 5-10 years?
