Sure, you can have vibe.d behind nginx, if you want to, but it 
would be more impressive if you didn't have to. Scripting 
languages do of course have to.

The main point is that it isn't visible at all that vibe.d is 
involved or how it is being used. So you loose out on a showcase 
opportunity.

What other adopted solutions do is not really relevant as they 
already _have_ massive amounts of showcases around the web _or_ 
they are not trying to position themselves in as a web backend 
langauge. D is not a scripting language, if it wants to compete 
with Go in the web arena it has to showcase itself where it can.

AFAIK golang.org uses their own stuff, Go on AppEngine.

Well, you should be able to write a proxy in a system level 
language. If you can showcase that it is easy to get comparable 
performance then all the better.
