I'll out myself as some one who is also associated with Ucora, 
I'm one of the original founders. I was the one who discovered D 
and eventually adopted it as our choice language. To answer your 
question, yes we did consider Vibe, it was a long time ago, and 
at that time it wasn't really suitable for embedding into our 
applications. We prefer fully embedded as opposed to separate. I 
think a lot of work was eventually done to make Vibe more 
suitable to integrate into a package, and we should revisit 
because we are looking for an alternative. The tool we're still 
using (tntnet) is based on C++ and runs as a separate process. 
it's not what we want but has worked well enough that no one took 
the time to move one to better alternatives. The situation for us 
is changing, we really do want an embedded solution.
