Yes, but more people visit dlang.org, and it makes it more 
official if it is showcased here as a visible part of the website 
(one way or another).

Probably. I don't know.

I can only tell what I am looking out for:

- good memcache client
- good nosql interface
- easy deployment in the cloud (in my case Google, but could be 
any other vendor)

And optionally:
- fast javascript interpreter/JIT (for precompiling pages)

A database is no point as people won't use it unless it is proven 
rock solid (wait and see for a decade). Interfacing with 
infrastructure is more important.

Working well without a proxy/frontend is useful, when you start 
thinking about things like websockets etc.
