The idea here is a portable executable (PE), in vibe.d, as a 
service with daemonize, that compiles packed to < 2MB with TLS 
and a single TCP link using HTTP/2.

I haven't tried Golang but I'm sure if I did it would be a close 
call. The lack of template meta-programming / generics makes it 
much less convenient to use though, so it's no go for me :) C++ 
could also do it if a framework existed for it, but even then, 
the language isn't as safe/convenient. So, I guess D wins here 
where a simple dub build with the right packages will dump a nice 
executable with everything you need for a desktop webUI 
application.
