Servus,

I'm currently rewriting the base skeleton of libev in D (only for 
linux for now) for web development aswell. And the next step 
would be data structures, basic server, futures and yo on...
I was working with dcarp's asynchronous and i found it very very 
good. It is till now the best I've seen in D for async 
programming ( I mean its design and usability).

Can you describe what would you like to see more concretly. I 
know js but how is it supposed to work for D? Maybe you can give 
some example, kind of pseudo code? It would help me much to build 
a concept and maybe we will see someday something usable in this 
area :)
