2) I have zero experience with going beyond one thread, but as far as I 
understand it multi-threading is not how vibe is supposed to scale. 
Start up another instance will you!

3) It has been work-in-progress for some time now:
http://vibed.org/features#load-balancing
Not sure what the status of this is though.

4) Dunno about that..

5) Well, there is this:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/blob/master/source/vibe/utils/validation.d
and:
http://vibed.org/docs#web-localization

6) What is that?

In my experience, vibe.d is a beautiful alternative to node.js and it is 
not the immaturity of D that is holding it back, vibe.d just needs to 
grow a bit.
