The build in and good performing http server hit the sweet
spot. Never underestimate the desire of people to simply get
going fast.
As a developer, you can be assured that your Go HTTP server
will survive a upgrade to a new major release version. That
assurance is a bit less with D. ;)
One of D its weak spots, that its so general positioned as a
C++ replacement, that it lacks a identify for itself.
Yes!
The following idea was written by several posters:
Keep std. small, but offer a special label "recommended by D
Foundation"
for some more packages available via code.dlang (DUB)
This would mean, that some of them, currently under individual
control are moved to the official D Foundation Git repository.
So those could be kept up to date, to ensure no breakage when the
language evolves.
( On my wish list at the top: An official D database connector.
(MySql/MariaDB, Postgres, SQlite, MonetDB..) )
What about trying to find and to fund a maintainer for this
purpose?
(Next funding goal Mike Parker?)
