I have a friend that is a web developer. I, however want to collaborate

be used to interopt with modern web development?
You should ask this in
http://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.vibed/
But while we're here, maybe you could send him a link to
http://vibed.org/ along with a link to
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm.html that he could read when he
has 10 minutes
I don't know how else you could convince him. Possibly benchmarks?

Or an example of a dynamic web project backend?

He might not be so familiar with type safety though, so then your
arguments will have to be more technical - type safety is the only way
you can ever scale a project because most bugs are caught by the compiler.
He can keep using his front-end libraries too. Browsers don't run D
code, they simply request bytes from it.
Good luck!
