There is collie [1]. Never used. Can't say a lot about it.

arsd [2] has a lot of interesting web stuff: event loop, 
FastCGI/SimpleCGI; web-, DOM-, mail-utilities.

And the last but not least I'm running currently a small web 
server serving static files based on tanya [3]. Once I'm ready to 
write a web-framework on top of it, it would be what you mention: 
no compile-time templates, no jade-style templates, since I 
dislike these too. But unfortunately it is not something can be 
used now.
