I see, that's fair. I wouldn't say it means "D has nothing to do" 
since you can communicate with most web services with the REST 
API which D handles just fine, it's just lower-level than having 
a dedicated client library.

But it's certainly a big drawback if your application depends on 
much more than databases, email and simple authentication. Not 
all services do, take code.dlang.org for example. Beyond those, 
it needs to communicate with the code repositories to look for 
package updates and readme files but I think that's pretty much 
it. But you're right that if your site is taking money transfers 
or anything like that, you'll probably need much more.

Is this a problem for D? Doesn't Vibe.D, or even just Phobos, 
handle this just fine?
