What libraries are people using to run webservers other than
vibe.d?
Don't get me wrong I like the async-io aspect of vibe.d but I
don't like the weird template language and the fact that it
caters to mongo crowd.
I think for D to a have good web story it needs to appeal to
serious backend developers, not hipsters who go after fads
(mongodb is a fad, jade/haml is a fad).
I probably need to combine several libraries, but the features
I'm looking for are:
- Spawn an HTTP server listening on a port, and routing
requests to functions/delegates, without hiding the details of
the http request/response objects (headers, cookies, etc).
- Support for websockets
- Runs delegates in fibers/coroutines
- Basic database connectivity (No "orm" needed; just raw sql).
- When iterating the result set of a sql query, has the ability
to automatically map each row against a struct, and throw if
the structure does not match.
- More generally, map any arbitrary object (such as json) to a
struct. Something like Zewo/Reflection package for swift[0].

I feel like Vibe.d satisfies my first 3 requirements, but for
the rest I will probably have to look for something else.
Here is another template engine that can be used along with vibe.
I actually made it for the same reason you don't wanna use vibe.
Because I didn't like the template language and I was more
familiar with razor templates from ASP.NET
