A potential "mod_d" Apache module would go a long way to promote D language to
the web application world.
But it seems that implementing a "mod_d" Apache module may require that C
instantiates a D language interpreter (similar to Py_NewInterpreter() for
Python), or do the functionality of RDMD with compiled code caching, but in C.
Is that possible? (Presumably it might be possible to hack up a solution,
but could there be an officially supported way?)
I know that FastCGI with RDMD can do something similar, but a "mod_d" should
have higher system performance and scalability.
Thank you. D is the best! Keep up the good work.
A FastCGI solution could be used with other webservers as well.
I don't know how Apache modules work, but instantiating a D language interpreter
sounds strange, because D isn't an interpreted language.
"Interpreting" D code may work as well by compiling it when invoked (like rdmd
does).. but I don't know if you wanna do something like that on a web server.
It may be possible to code your web application in D and make it an apache
module, so you'd have one module per application..
Or maybe one could write a module that loads shared libraries that may be
written in D?
