It seems that Hunt is dead yes.

Some people are using D for web projects.
For example this one looks nice: https://myst.rs/

Mostly you have 2 frameworks with many features:
* Vibe.d
* Arsd CGI

Vibe has many integrations with different packages (oauth, 
oneapi, graphql).
CGI is the fastest (at least in benchmarks).

If you need simpler solution (just a server):
* handy
* serverino
* lighttp (not maintained, but still worked)

Like there is no any sense to use D in general, not specifically 
in web.
But if you like D, you can use it for web as well.

For production I think it is save to choose Go.

I think current level of D frameworks won't provide any "killer 
features" compare to other popular solutions and have more cons 
(lack of users, documentation, adoption for deployment, etc) than 
pros (D is fun and great for your hobby project).

But you can try it for something simple and see if it works for 
you :)
