I know a project where D could benefit from gRPC in D, which is
not among the supported languages:

Do you think gRPC support is worth adding to GSOC 2018 ideas?

Problem here is that D lacks a proper http/2 stack.
unfortunately due to time constraints my libh2o binding project
got stuck.
Imo the real problem with D is still that phobos does not provide
the important building blocks for today modern infrastrucutre:
- fast and standardized eventloop compatible with Ds concurrency
primitives
- network protocol libs/ bindings ( http, http/2, tls, dns )
until there is effort to do this D will continue to be an
ecosystem of hacks.
I really like vibe.d but it comes with a lot of problems and it
has the focus of providing a usable web framework and not
implementing protocols in a fast and reusable way.
so as long as "management" does not decide that internet
protocols is something important in D nothing useful will come
out. Just look how beautiful Golangs protocol implementations are
and the whole ecosystem that focused effort spawned.
