Unfortunately the problem still occurs with Vibe.d 0.9.0

IMO **this is the single most important problem to fix** for vibe.d -- 
if the most basic of examples (indeed, supplied by dub itself) fails so 
spectacularly, the casual new user will not spend the time to find out 
why this is happening, but instead move on. The ctrl-C non-termination 
bug has existed since at least 2015 from what I can tell from the forums.

Tangent:

Does Sönke have a Patreon or the project an OpenCollective etc. ? I 
would be willing to support fixing of some of these bugs.

Alternatively, could we vote on whether a web framework is worthy of 
foundation support? Having an ergonomic, workable web framework is 
absolutely essential to surviving as a language in 2020 (notable 
exception being 800# gorilla incumbents C/C++).
