Now I discover Python, Rust, and Go have far nicer abstractions

It really doesn't :(
And D has so much potential as server tech with the potential
combination of fibers + TLS + shared + static introspection.
The package Vibe-d is quite nice though. I don't know if you've
tried it but it's very simple to get a listener up with it.
To date all I can get is:
std.socket.SocketOSException@std/socket.d(2792): Unable to bind
socket: Bad file descriptor
when trying to open a TCP server on 127.0.0.1:50000, with
Python, Rust, or Go it all worked first time. This is really
sad given D has so many advantages over Rust. :-(
