Thank you @zoujiaqing for chiming in about hunt-http!  I think 
the D community needs to stop putting vibe-d as the only answer 
for all things http server/web framework.  This is not a critique 
of the vibe-d, it's a viable option.  But there is risk with only 
one viable option.  It makes the D community look barren, and it 
is hard to take the language seriously for enterprise use because 
there are not a plethora of web frameworks ranging from highly 
opinionated full stack web frameworks down to simple small 
frameworks (i.e. web.py style).  Kudos to Huntlabs in their 
effort to fill this void.  We can all help by supplementing docs, 
reporting bugs (it's hard supporting a bunch of different OSs, 
and bug reports help achieve that), and providing constructive 
feedback.

At some point, I will get my own web framework released, I wrote 
on top of libuv a few years back.  I was scratching my own itch.  
It was done for a commercial project, but there is no reason I 
can't release it.  I've held back because to use a web framework 
seriously, the stack has to cover so many aspects of the web, 
it's a lot to cover, especially security.  And it was a messy 
first effort at writing code in D.  In any case, I think just 
putting a different idea out there is a way to help contribute to 
the diversity of offerings.
