Also, in playframework, vert.x and nodejs, they all have a plugin/module system, that people could easily compose plugins to make a website. (I call it plugin because that is what play used to call it, now they all call it a module but that name will easily conflict with D's sourcecode modules). This is a critical mechanism that actually allured developers to contribute to the eco-system.
On a related note, one thing vibe.d is really missing from my perspective is a good way to handle unstable processes and perform seamless code upgrades (this is where Erlang really shines IMO). It would be cool if there were a process monitor at least. The system I work with does some fancy stuff with UDS, but that probably isn't necessary. I'll admit that the ball is probably kind of in my court here, since IPC would be a handy way of communicating process health, but something simpler using pipes or whatever would work as well.
