same code as Python, translated to D. Of course, the solution

running your program. ;)
Running worker processes can make the GIL problem a little less
of a PITA, but having the typos pointed out before running the
app... is just priceless. :)
I'm struggling with the temptation to move a Python website to
vibe.d.
What keeps me from doing that are Django templates. Not even
because vibe's templates have to be recompiled each time some
small markup change is introduced -- I got used to that with
LaTeX ;) -- but because of Jade. It's way too far off course
from HTML for my tastes. I see no reason for inventing a
completely new format when all you need is templating.
So let me use this opportunity to ask you: is somebody working
on other template systems for vibe.d already or shall I get
involved myself? I'm thinking about something similar to this,
syntax-wise: http://jinja.pocoo.org/
I'm working on porting Twig (http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) to D
(so I can use it with vibe.d) but I'm still far even from a
preview release.. I'm hoping to have more spare time in upcoming
months to implement at least small usable subset of Twig features.
I will post in this forum/NG once I have something to show..
