Yes, no point in writing your own forum software. However, if you
need nginx to perform on a small scale site like dlang.org then
you basically say that the D http stack is not yet competitive
with C++.
Contrast that to:
- Vibe.d is so great that we don't need a front end to perform
well.

Fair enough, maybe that is more honest, but it doesn't drive the
project forward to a situation where it can showcase
"download-compile-install" starting points.
And that is what most people want. Most people want to solve a
specific problem. If you have something they can make work right
away and then modify then you are more like to be adopted.
