Rust isn't used that much on that field, i was mainly aiming at 
GOLANG

Concerning vibe.d, i'm worried about the dependencies it pulls, 
also the benchmark:

GO vs D, it performs quite poorly

Concerning hunt, unfortunately the simple fact of having import 
hunt.http; increase compile time from 2 to 8 seconds.. wich is 
not desirable at all..

Right now the blocker is a simple HTTP listener, there is no such 
thing in the std lib

Maybe that is the one thing i can contribute in the near future, 
just for the sack of having something out of the box

Java, C#, Go, all have that, out of the box, seems to be a good 
way to retain people i think
