It's a perfect way of explaining why D kicks so much ass. Side note though: Seriously, no download with registration?!?

A couple months ago I had a little bit of free time and used it to work on a custom...uhh...*cough* "not-a-blog" system I've been putting together for myself. I used the combination of: - Vibe.d's CGI library and HTTP server - simendsjo's fork of Steve Teale's native MySQL library: https://github.com/simendsjo/mysqln/tree/misc-cleanups (Actually, I think this is included in Vibe.d now?) - Adam's HTML DOM (And I cached partial and full results in memory, of course, so I wasn't DOMming it up on every request) It was working out BEAUTIFULLY for me, at least until I ran out of free time and had to leave it unfinished :(
