digitalmars.D.learn - What external libraries are available

If you never herd about Meson before:

Hay there I was just wondering, what is the D equivalent to C++ 
Boost and or Poco libraries?

Just wondering because I would like to start playing with other 
developers libraries and use them in a collection of examples for 
the library.  The examples will be lunched to a GitHub repository 
as a show case so the library developers can show a link to new 
potential users that seek examples.

What I mean by Boost or Poco equivalent is a grouping of fully 
functional packages/modules.  It’s ok if you recommend a single 
library and it is a plus if Meson build is apart of the library.

I am aware of Mir Libraries being a group of libraries and 
incorporates the use of Meson, however I normally like to see 
what my options are to better plan my applications.

I don't think there are any libraries that are a direct comparison to 
Boost (I'm not familiar with Poco). There are a couple of general 
purpose libraries available here [1]. Like mecca [2] and ocean [3].

There are 1576 packages available here [1]. It's the list of packages 
for the Dub package manager (and build system). These package range from 
full frameworks to single file packages.

[2] https://code.dlang.org/packages/mecca
[3] https://code.dlang.org/packages/ocean-d2

https://github.com/libmir/mir-algorithm
https://github.com/libmir/mir-core
https://github.com/libmir/mir-optim
https://github.com/libmir/mir-rundom
https://github.com/libmir/mir-runtime (exprimental)

All of them comes with Meson and are used in daily production.

Thanks for the suggestion to use LibMir, I will get started on 
the collections somewhere around winter or after I finish writing 
C, C++ examples based on the cpp-reference but embrace the 
importance of safe and secure software and other best practices.
