Hi,

I noticed you had your own templating library to parse the .dh 
files, so I thought I'd mention my project Temple which does 
something similar: https://github.com/dymk/temple
It's perhaps a bit more feature complete, and can handle stuff 
like capturing blocks of code, render to arbitrary output ranges, 
etc. That being said, your solution is very nice; it's amazing 
what you can do in so few lines of code in D :)

MongoModel in the model part of crate.d is interesting, and I'm 
glad to see there's a more structured way of interacting with 
MongoDB than just poking at untyped objects. I think D is still 
missing a really good ORM (Rikki's dvorm is a start), but there's 
nothing out there that conforms to the "activerecord" pattern as 
far as I can tell.
