Awesome D Awesome

A curated list of awesome D frameworks, libraries and software. Inspired by awesome-python.

I created this list so that when I needed something in the future, it would be easy to find. Most of the documents and links are collected from the D forum, the D wiki, and the D package repository. Exploring GitHub also helps as many of the libs are hosted there.

If you know an interesting lib/app in D, please tell me by issue or a pull request :-).
