Yeah, and that's an industry-standard production deployment.
But perhaps we should just change the server line for the
people who do look at it. No need to change the deployment,
just the apache/nginx config to spit out something different.
I can picture the article now:
The D programming language maintains its own web framework
called vibe.d, but the official website dlang.org doesn't use
it. Instead they use the Apache framework written in C. They
also decided to modify Apache to make it look like their own
vibe.d framework. Apparently tricking people into thinking
they use their own code was easier the actually using it.
Did you even bother reading my response????
Stop wasting your time by trolling - make a difference!

I agree - this is bikeshedding. We all rely on existing software
for our day to day life. I quickly checked the first hit server
for other languages - have a look:
rust.org: nginx
php.net: nginx
julia.org: Apache
scala-lang.org: Apache
julia-lang.org: Github
python.org: nginx
www.cplusplus.com: Apache
perl.org: Apache
developer.mozilla.org: Apache
ruby-lang.org: nginx
swift.org: Apache
... and the last time I checked all of them use the C
implementation of git for their source code ;-)
Mike's call for help was about actively _improving_ dlang.org by
pointing out
- what is (or could be) confusing for newcomers
- bad written texts
- missing examples
- not user-friendly parts of the documentation
- missing info
- ...
Basically everything that could stop someone from having awesome
first five minutes with D!
