Yeah I know, guess who asked for it...
But the last step, which is including such functionality into
the standard library , will never happen, because nobody here
seems to see the point of doing this.
I guess those who made that for Go and Crystal probably did
it wrong.
What a mistake they did, and they don't even know they make a
mistake, silly them... ;)
What should and shouldn't go in the standard library for a
language is something that's up for a lot of debate and is
likely to often be a point of contention. There is no clear
right or wrong here. Languages that have had very sparse
standard libraries have done quite well, and languages that
have had kitchen sink libraries have done quite well. There
are pros and cons to both approaches.

I agree.
But here I'm just talking of the "public image" of the language.
Languages which integrates HTTP-related components in their
standard library, and advertize on that (like Crystal for
instance), obviously apply a different "marketing" strategy
than languages which have chosen not to do so.
That's all I say...
Two points:
- Andrei pushed to include vibe.d but it didn't happen.
"There's no web services framework (by this time many folks know
of D, but of those a shockingly small fraction has even heard of
vibe.d). I have strongly argued with Sönke to bundle vibe.d with
dmd over one year ago, and also in this forum. There wasn't
enough interest."

- As you acknowledge, integration has drawbacks too. I thought
this was an interesting recent article about how it has now
hobbled one of the biggest tech companies in the world:

I don't think the web matters enough these days that it is worth
bundling, which is why a webassembly port is also not worth it
for most:
