Then this should be more advertised...

For instance :

https://crystal-lang.org/

The FIRST paragraph of text of Crystal's web page is :

"Syntax

Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels 
natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of a 
lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs.

# A very basic HTTP server
require "http/server"

server = HTTP::Server.new do |context|
   context.response.content_type = "text/plain"
   context.response.print "Hello world, got 
#{context.request.path}!"
end

puts "Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080"
server.listen(8080)
"

So the FIRST thing you learn about Crystal is that the standard 
library already gives you all you need to program a simple "hello 
world" web server.

The Go standard library is also known to provide the same 
building blocks :

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r 
*http.Request) {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, you've requested: %s\n", r.URL.Path)
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil)
}

Both are batteries-included for web development. That's why many 
developers don't feel the need to use thirdparty frameworks to 
implement their microservices...

So if it's also the case for D, then sorry for my mistake...
