Hi all.

Lurking in this forum I had the feeling that lots of D developers tend to rewrite lots of code that could be found in libraries. This is not bad per se but I thought that one of the reason could have been the current process of library discovery.

For this reason I have edited a list of libraries that could aid in this process.

I also considered that the following features could be of importance to you:
- License
- Garbage collector
- last modification (automated)

The list is of course not complete and I could not test all of the libraries I included.

I welcome you to modify it, open PRs or issues on github.

https://github.com/FraMecca/D_Libraries_Registry

I hope it could lead to a better ecosystem for the whole D community.

This effort should be combined with the current work being done to http://code.dlang.org/

I hope Martin, Seb, and others that are involved will see this thread. (Yes, I'm pinging them. :) )

I'd like to see code.dlang.org to have a new column that explicitely shows the licence being used, and the capacity to search/filter by licence type would be great too.

DWT is using the EPL, Eclipse Public License, license.
I'm missing the ddb [1] and mysql-native [2] database libraries.
There are many list like this for other languages, they're usually called "awesome-<lang>" where <lang> is the language.

[2] https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native

I checked README.md in this repo. Not sure why my nick is used in place of name of lnk library.
Also inilike has nothing to do with argv.

I checked awesome-D but it is not focused only on libraries and it is not updated at all.
Also, I wanted to highlight the license and the use of @nogc

I added mysql-native, while I ignored ddb because the project provides no description and no documentation. Maybe a README would be enought to get you through the examples.
Also, updated DWT

Please send a PR if you feel like the project could be improved

Even being the wrong Martin :-) I think the DUB registry really needs more and better filters, so that the gems inside can be found easily. (like: Number of Github stars, number of downloads, number of developers and in the future: money donated to this project ...).

There has been several attempts but I would like to encourage the D Foundation to put more focus on this. Better ecosystem around third party software means less work for improvement of standard lib.

Regards mt.

Agreed. (IMO more important than Elvis operator)
