Great work! This is the the type of server side frameworks we need.

During the last few months, we have been working on a new framework for general I/O and especially for building extremely fast web apps. It combines asynchronous I/O with core.thread's great fibers to build a convenient, blocking API which can handle insane amounts of connections due to the low memory and computational overhead. Some of its key fatures are: - Very fast but no endless callback chains as in node.js and similar frameworks - Concise API that tries to be as efficient and intuitive as possible - Built-in HTTP server and client with support for HTTPS, chunked and compressed transfers, keep-alive connections, Apache-style logging, a reverse-proxy, url routing and more - Jade based HTML/XML template system with compile-time code generation for the fastest dynamic page generation times possible - Built-in support for MongoDB and Redis databases - WebSocket support - Natural Json and Bson handling - A package manager for seemless use of extension libraries See http://vibed.org/ for more information and some example applications (there are some things in the works such as an etherpad clone and an NNTP server). vibe.d is in a working state and enters its first beta-phase now to stabilize the current feature set. After that, a small list of additional features is planned before the 1.0 release. The framework can be downloaded or GIT cloned from http://vibed.org/ and is distributed under the terms of the MIT license. Note that the website including the blog is fully written in vibe and provides the first stress test for the implementation. Regards, Sönke
