Apache "mod_d" needs C to instantiate D interpreter?

A FastCGI solution could be used with other webservers as well.

I don't know how Apache modules work, but instantiating a D language interpreter 
sounds strange, because D isn't an interpreted language.

"Interpreting" D code may work as well by compiling it when invoked (like rdmd 
does).. but I don't know if you wanna do something like that on a web server.

It may be possible to code your web application in D and make it an apache 
module, so you'd have one module per application..
Or maybe one could write a module that loads shared libraries that may be 
written in D?
