In my experience with vibe.d, it's a massive pain in the arse that it's compiled. It seems to me that web dev involves squillions of micro-changes and tweaks, and it's bloody annoying to compile and reboot the server every time. vibe.d apps should be compiled for deployment, but a JIT option while developing/tweaking/tuning would speed up development by about 934x. I think that's the main hold-up for vibe.d compared to popular competition; the iteration time is just not good, but otherwise it's awesome.
If vibe.d is linked as library (instead of compiled with you app) you easily get down from 3s to 1s for compilation.
For bigger apps separate compilation would help. Combined with inotify watches this should work out fine in the longer term.
