I want to write the app in D. I am comfortable with JavaFX, adobe flex and Kotlin, c# to some extent

Honestly, avoid web technology on the desktop like the plague. It's slow and memory hogging.
Desktop app with vibe.d
Pls I want to know if it is possible to build desktop app with vibe.d just like nodejs. I am not satisfy with the GUI of Dlang such as dlangui and gtkd. I don't think they have good styling capabilities like HTML and CSS. I will be happy if I can build an app in D with fanciful ui. I will also be happy if you know any other way to build a fanciful ui in D like adobe flex, javafx, etc.
