One of my larger D web projects included QR code generation - it 
was a printable coupon site.

I did it by just calling system("qrencode")... or whatever the 
program was called, instead of bothering with a library, then did 
the rest with plain image management (which I do have in D).

I'm sure I could have called a C lib or something too, but the 
command line interface was easy and quick to slap together.

It was easy and worked pretty well. Over years of using D in 
production for a few different startups, I never hit a problem I 
couldn't quickly solve.
