Last time I needed one, I used Thrift. D support in Thrift is
maintained upstream. Unfortunately, the version available in dub
is really old. Also unfortunately, it's std.socket only -- no
vibe.d.

Thrift uses a binary format relatively similar to protocol
buffers.

Thrift supports a `binary` data type representing a byte array.

I'm not sure what you mean by "streaming data", precisely, but
Thrift supports multiple RPCs per connection. This alone made a
huge difference in my testing: a Thrift server on an AWS t2.micro
managed 2400 requests per second across ten clients, while HTTP
handlers returning a fixed string only managed 75.

Definitely supports timeouts.
