We wrote a networking library with a unique modern flexible design.

It was initially written in C++, but I'm slowly porting it to D2 (it's already usable and I wrote a few applications with it by now).

If anyone is interested, I may contribute it to Phobos. Its design overview (very short one) is attached for those who are interested.
