Well, it depends on what you want / need: server development or D 
+ server development. If it's server development, there are loads 
of options and you don't need to go the lengths of learning D.

In my case, I had loads of stuff written in D and wanted to use 
it as a web service. Thus, vibe.d was the obvious choice. I knew 
almost nothing about server development when I started and found 
out that it's not vibe.d's lack of documentation, but how servers 
work that is the biggest obstacle. Once you know how certain 
things work, it's no longer so hard find out how to do it with 
vibe.d, e.g. when and how to set headers 
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "Accept-Ranges". But the reason 
you have to set these headers has nothing to do with vibe.d, but 
with HTTP, Javascript and browsers.
