I admit I'm not a fan of Jade either. Indent-syntaxes just aren't my thing. And fixing the larger semantic issues I have with HTML/CSS isn't part of Jade's charter, AFAICT. (That said, I don't have any problem with it being in Vibe.d.) Personally, I just use Adam's HTML DOM for D: https://github.com/adamdruppe/misc-stuff-including-D-programming-language-web-stuff I've built up a couple utility libs that use the DOM to help automate some stuff (defining a page, caching rendered pages, repeating elements on a page, building/validating forms). It's mostly independent of Vibe.d, but I do use it with Vibe.d. I've been planning to release those utility libs when they're a little bit more ready (they're still a little too closely integrated into a private project of mine, and they still need some more work).
