How is serving static HTML difficult or even impressive?

I agree that a showcase website for vibed (or another D web 
framework) would be beneficial, but a real showcase has totally 
different specs:

- > 1 million visitors per day
- highly dynamic content (high-throughput databases)
- solved technological difficulties (e.g. in-memory caching)
- ...

That being said, we are working on getting a page [1] of 
organizations using D ready, so that we can link to _real_ 
showcases ;-)
