I thought there was a ticket open to let Diet templates automatically 
recompile in the background for development, but didn't find one - newly 
opened ticket: [1]. I definitely consider that particular feature within 
the scope of vibe.d (in contrast to dynamic loading of high level 
components), but I'm currently lacking the time to implement it myself.

For the big text content pages, it may make sense to stay with DDOC and 
use the DDOC processor of DDOX [2]. Another possibility would be to use 
enhanced Markdown. Unfortunately the Markdown compiler in vibe.d doesn't 
currently support tables, though (although those can of course be 
inserted using inline HTML).
