Thanks to the sponsorship of Symmetry Investments, the D

of Code!
We're looking for three university students to hack on D this
autumn, from September - January. We're also in search of
potential mentors and ideas for student projects. Head to the
Symmetry Autumn of Code page for the details.
Spread the word!

I'd suggest adding the following to SAOC 2018 project
proposals :
1/ adding a Go-like http module to the standard library
2/ adding Go-like async IO management to the standard library,
i.e. fibers communicating through blocking channels
Until we get an event loop in druntime, both of these options
are off the table.
Sad.
Then I'd suggest to add the event loop implementation to SAOC
2018 too, because the absence of a default http module in D's
standard library may have very good justifications, but I'm still
convinced that it doesn't help when trying to "sell" it to modern
developers, considering that nowadays MANY of the applications
they will develop in a professional facility will have to
integrate http code to access or update the company's data.
