What libraries are people using to run webservers other than vibe.d? Don't get me wrong I like the async-io aspect of vibe.d but I don't like the weird template language and the fact that it caters to mongo crowd. I think for D to a have good web story it needs to appeal to serious backend developers, not hipsters who go after fads (mongodb is a fad, jade/haml is a fad). I probably need to combine several libraries, but the features I'm looking for are: - Spawn an HTTP server listening on a port, and routing requests to functions/delegates, without hiding the details of the http request/response objects (headers, cookies, etc). - Support for websockets - Runs delegates in fibers/coroutines - Basic database connectivity (No "orm" needed; just raw sql). - When iterating the result set of a sql query, has the ability to automatically map each row against a struct, and throw if the structure does not match. - More generally, map any arbitrary object (such as json) to a struct. Something like Zewo/Reflection package for swift[0]. [0]: https://github.com/Zewo/Reflection I feel like Vibe.d satisfies my first 3 requirements, but for the rest I will probably have to look for something else.

Can't say a lot about it. arsd [2] has a lot of interesting web stuff: event loop, FastCGI/SimpleCGI; web-, DOM-, mail-utilities. And the last but not least I'm running currently a small web server serving static files based on tanya [3]. Once I'm ready to write a web-framework on top of it, it would be what you mention: no compile-time templates, no jade-style templates, since I dislike these too. But unfortunately it is not something can be used now. [1] https://github.com/huntlabs/collie [2] https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd [3] https://github.com/caraus-ecms/tanya

Those are some interesting links. FWIW I kind of like compile-time templates. I just don't like jade (or coffee-script, or stylus, or all these languages that try to remove the punctuation and curly braces, and all signs of structure).

Note, you can get access to the request/response objects even if you do use the API generation by using an before method. E.g. in an interface you may have something like this: method(HTTPMethod.POST) before!getRequestInfo("requestInfo") property Token login(LoginRequestMeta login, RequestInfo requestInfo); And then define your getRequestInfo method like this: static RequestInfo getRequestInfo(HTTPServerRequest req, HTTPServerResponse res) { RequestInfo requestInfo; requestInfo.headers = req.headers; requestInfo.ipAddress = req.clientAddress.toAddressString(); requestInfo.userAgent = requestInfo.headers.get("User-Agent", ""); return requestInfo; } In this case I've grabbed the ip address and user agent of the user, but you could also grab cookies etc.- When iterating the result set of a sql query, has the ability to automatically map each row against a struct, and throw if the structure does not match.You can do this with MySQL Native whilst using vibe.d. You might do something like this: Prepared prepared = prepare(this.conn, sql); prepared.setArgs(params); auto row = prepared.queryRow(); if (row.isNull()) { throw new Exception("Query returned an empty row"); } T item; try { row.toStruct!T(item); } catch(Exception e) { } Where T is your struct type that you're trying to convert the row to. As for the template language, you could try: http://code.dlang.org/packages/diamond https://github.com/repeatedly/mustache-d There are probably others.

Unless you're a full stack developer, you'll not be using jade/diet (at least not enough to be tempted to use something else). Its still sucks there's no object storage api for D. Are you guys still building monolithic web servers?
