I'm new to the D language, but I really enjoy its execution speed and
ease of programming, and I'd like to implement the web server of my next
project in D instead of C++ or Go.
Unfortunately my server needs to communicate with an Aerospike database
(an ultra-fast open-source distributed database).
Aerospike provides a client API for plenty of languages (C, C++, Go, JS,
Ruby, Python, etc) but unfortunately not for D.
So I'd like to know if anybody has already begun to build a wrapper
around Aerospike's C API, preferably one that automatically converts
class fields to record bins (and inversely).
I'm trying to implement this by myself, but honestly it's not easy for a
newcomer like me...
That's really sad, because IMHO, this driver could definitely help D in
becoming THE mainstream language for high-performance web servers,
outperforming even C++ and Go, as obviously the Dlang/Aerospike
combination feels really optimal for this kind of development.
I wouldn't worry about writing a wrapper just yet.
Get a binding going first.
If you would like some interactive help jump on to #D on Freenode (IRC).
