As you know, I'm convinced that D could be marketed as the
perfect language to develop native web servers and mobile
applications, and have its core libraries somewhat extended in
thqg direction, like Go and Crystal which allow "plug'n'play"
web server development for instance
D allows for plug n' play web server development too.
Then this should be more advertised...
For instance :
https://crystal-lang.org/
The FIRST paragraph of text of Crystal's web page is :
"Syntax
Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels
natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of a
lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs.
# A very basic HTTP server
require "http/server"
server = HTTP::Server.new do |context|
context.response.content_type = "text/plain"
context.response.print "Hello world, got
#{context.request.path}!"
end
puts "Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080";
server.listen(8080)
"
So the FIRST thing you learn about Crystal is that the standard
library already gives you all you need to program a simple "hello
world" web server.
The Go standard library is also known to provide the same
building blocks :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r
*http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, you've requested: %s\n", r.URL.Path)
})
http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil)
}
Both are batteries-included for web development. That's why many
developers don't feel the need to use thirdparty frameworks to
implement their microservices...
So if it's also the case for D, then sorry for my mistake...
