I'm working on a Framework/CMS where all controllers are in oData so you 
can create desktop/mobile applications in e.g. OpenUI5 - this allows 
compiling the D Language into a Desktop/Mobile application with 
Javascript UI with under 4 mb.

Every library e.g. Users (core) would be in oData, with the ability to 
add fields and relations when loading your own library with a consistent 
db e.g. sqlite/mongodb. There would be oData connectors for each db. All 
libraries simply add up to create the final application with a unified 
database/oData object per domain services. You could call the oData 
remotely, but you can also issue calls internally to the host-local 
services to build a HTML frontend in vibe.d with oData controller.

There's tons of things I'm planning for this framework. It's going to be 
a little like a kernel with hooks & event handlers, but with the 
settings in Lua pre-runtime. API is being developed here:

I'm looking forward to some comments, I'm only going to plan the 
structure for a few more days
