And that is the issue, is it not. A small group of people are not 
a reflection of a performance based HTTP solution.

And yet, you are reading most of your websites using that 
"cr*pfest ". Its always popular to b*tch about PHP but it gets 
the job done. Unlike D that just can not get any traction because 
it keep spreading its resources left and right between C/C++, 
that very few people are interested in. You know that C++ has 
taken over most of D its advantages right? Rust is a better C++ 
replacement. Let alone the C alternatives.

Maybe because despite being pre-1.0, it actually performance 5 
times better then D? Its easy to judge a language on a label 
without trying it out yourself, is it not :)

Let me help...

Yea, D is really bad with vibe.d, when it comes down to web 
performance.

Tomato, Potato ...

I see mostly people here that are delusional about D its future. 
And as i pointed out in my post, there are simply better 
alternatives for anything HTTP related then D. If you can not 
handle this, ...
