Yeah, I'm aware of hunt too. Its like laravel in php whilst 
vibe.d feels more like express in nodejs. Infact I believe Sonke 
wrote vibe.d after using express or similar framework by design.


And yes, almost all frameworks work in a certain way. Arsd cgi.d 
might be what you want if you want to it your way as its more 
low-level interface-wise.

I personally (and many others in the industry... judging by 
popularity of express (node.js) and the plentiful third-party 
libraries,..do prefer the router.get() design. Also having 
everything abstracted in a convenient and consistent way...is 
very desirable. vibe.d's web interface API is something I've 
always praised and thanks to how powerful D is compare to say 
JavaScript. Diet templates is also an example.

However that power is not tapped in enough (yet) to favour using 
D conveniently over node (js). And web developers are interested 
in getting things done (at least my kind of web devs) rather than 
getting it our way...or squeezing every bit of efficiency out of 
it. Part of why v8 is fast by default (for us).

Unike express (which is a thing layer with interface for 
third-parties to hook in and extend with libs), vibe.d became a 
monolith with everything included... making it harder to maintain 
and extend in other ways. Plus too much hard-coding by default 
currently. Unfortunately Sonke doesn't work on it like he used 
to...and its quite an huge accomplishment...the work he's done 
for D.


I wish vibe.d could be positioned and sponsored officially or by 
community cus its the killer app.

Staying lean and being extensible will open up for more 
innovation around it. Eg. a form handler for files library that 
works like how Ikod suggested...a customizable stream.


Unless you're doing usual routing and database things, using 
vibe.d for a full stack projects can lead to a dead end unless 
you're positioned to write your own stuff to supplement. Of 
course its only a matter of time before this change for the good.

Personally I use vibe.d for basic side projects. Looking to use 
it more going forward. But that's how I see it.
