In Java you got QuickServer, the ultimate protocol creation
centered socket library. You don't have to write any channels
and readers and what not. You just instantiate a server,
configures the handlers (fill in classes that extends a handler
interface) and there you go.
Shouldn't there exist a similar library in any programming
language? Not doing so is assuming that developers always need
control of the lower layers. Its not true. I care about
protocol. Not sockets.
Is there any abstraction layers in phobos? Or is everything
just as complex as before?

I used cgi.d to make my own server easily (compile with
-version=embedded_httpd). If you want more lower-level control,
try a ListeningConnectionManager. To see how it's used, look at
the code starting on line #1926.
It has some pitfalls (e.g. I can't find a good way to stop the
server), but it is very nice in _easily_ starting up, with _zero_
config.
