I have never used dub, but I know it's now also bundled with ldc2.

I would assume that if your PATH to ldc2 comes before that of 
dmd, it would find the ldc2 bundled version of dub and it would 
do the smart thing(if not, that's a bug).

On the one hand Cargo works wonderfully with Rust so I had hoped Dub
would work wonderfully with D.  Sadly I am finding it doesn't. Possibly
my fault, but still annoying.

There is a Dub package in Debian. It seems to default to GDC rather
than LDC, which is annoying. Meson defaults to LDC, but getting it to
handle the Dub repository is going to be impossible I suspect.

No DMD installed. Seemingly Dub chooses /usr/bin/gdc over
/usr/bin/ldc2. :-(

Cargo does not have multiple Rust compilers as an option. Dub 
could look to find for compiler if it is not set, but that may 
disappoint users who have multiple compilers installed (myself 
included)...

I don't think so, but as that's about the only option you can put 
in that file it's ok to use JSON.

What do you mean it failed? I did that on another computer to

This configuration file can contain only two options: default 
compiler and urls to reach when looking for packets. It's 
litterally 3 lines, while I support the fact that one should 
never have to write XML that's about as concise as it can get.
