It takes time. I was comparing packages available in D compared 
to say nodejs which I've been using for a while.

Very few important ones are missing. The others too lack some 
documentation. Other than that, you get pretty much what you 
need. Except cloud sdks.

also using vibe.d has some missing pieces on how to do certain 
things... that I agree we Users need to do writing about them.

You're also right that people keep rolling their own 
implementations. Most people here are really good and can roll 
their own so its quite tempting...plus reading someone's code and 
implementation can be a lil...sometimes. except rolling your own 
means it'll be half baked and undocumented.

Also I suspect lot of community members primary don't do web 
stuff primarily.

If you ask me, I'll say vibe.d is the most solid and feature 
complete web framework at the moment...code, docs, libraries. 
It's not perfect but its never been a blocker. That's if you know 
your way around it. Sonke is a pretty cool guy.

Will be nice if he had a GitHub sponsor or something for vibe.d

Hunt framework is also your laravel D alternative.
