So uh, funny story: I didn’t know this a few years back. GDC was missing the sqlite interface in GDC’s phobos. This made it so the dlang onedrive client and some other packages wouldn’t compile with it. Situation was like this for years: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected]...
I eventually complained that it was easier to argue with Walter about politics on HN than get a library fixed on his programming language. Fortunately the right people saw it and it was fixed soon after: https://bugs.gentoo.org/722094
