Cool.  Do you incorporate the influence of solar activity via 
galactic rays / cloud formation and via volcanic activity?  (This 
is not my field, but I am looking for a model that does).

It won't be quicker to write the parsing code in D if you are new 
to the language, but it is still pretty quick when you know how.  
There are regexes etc too.

What Ketmar says.  For a robust application it might be better to 
put it behind a proxy like nginx anyway.  In which case you can 
use your vibed application to serve up parts of your site and php 
for others.  Eg user submits a form and the result is posted to a 
url that nginx routes to your vibed app.

You could dispense entirely with the web server and do the whole 
thing in vibed, but you don't need to.  Although its a framework, 
you don't have to do much to turn it into a web server if you 
look at the documentation on the vibed page.  The forum there is 
also quite helpful.
