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.


My experience with Wt ( http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt ) was quite nice.

Mind that its more than a simple template system and brings quite a few
advanced idioms to the table like signal/slots, components, adaptive
degradation for rendering ( uses Ajax and server push were available ).


They also have a nice set of ports for Java and Ruby, maybe D would fit
nicely among them.


Very interesting. Reminds me of ASP.NET in that it tries to work at
"stateful widget" level, except (from a brief glance at the homepage) it
looks like it may actually pull it off and be something I could actually
trust. I'm definitely going to dig further into that.


Hmm, I see it's GPL, though. Maybe it's unwarranted, but GPL makes me
*really* nervous.



This wasn't a show stopper for me, but I can see your point. There are quite a few of nice things engineered in that framework and usually delivers what it claims.

If license is an issue a similar D framework can mimic those nice traits Wt has.
