Introducing vibe.d!

[Alexandre Riveira]

Hi Sönke,


Congratulations for your hard work.


One question,
How do you think your framework running in development mode where 
a huge amount of models with many business rules exist. A system 
under development can be slow, like java where a signature change 
in the method requires reload of the whole application.
