Python is not being compared to D here, vibe.d is being compared to
<what?> Flask, Bottle,…

I would suggest that vibe.d can be a real competitor in the Flask,
Sinatra, Ratpack, etc. in the microframework space. But it needs the
word spreading, which means serious applications mentioned in Python,
Ruby, Groovy, and Go mailing lists. Issues about Python GIL are
irrelevant (even if true) as people just use process pools via
multiprocessing or concurrent.futures. It is important to not obviously
compare apples with wing nuts ;-)

Connections to SQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, Neo4J, etc. and
templating engines are the real kicker here not the even loop.  If it's
all in place get the marketing material in place and let the presses
roll.
