Sure, you can have vibe.d behind nginx, if you want to, but it
would be more impressive if you didn't have to. Scripting
languages do of course have to.
The main point is that it isn't visible at all that vibe.d is
involved or how it is being used. So you loose out on a
showcase opportunity.
How is serving static HTML difficult or even impressive?
I agree that a showcase website for vibed (or another D web
framework) would be beneficial, but a real showcase has totally
different specs:
- > 1 million visitors per day
- highly dynamic content (high-throughput databases)
- solved technological difficulties (e.g. in-memory caching)
- ...
That being said, we are working on getting a page [1] of
organizations using D ready, so that we can link to _real_
showcases ;-)
