A few questions:
- Is vibe.d the recommended way of doing web work?
Yes. Adam D. Ruppe also has some easy to use libraries that may
suit your need.
- Is that book worth purchasing?
Don't know.
- Does D have a good library for accessing Postgres? I see
several listed but I don't know what the most stable would be
for production:

When looking for D libraries use code.dlang.org. Sorting by most
recently updated is the best proxy for activity at the moment.
- Why is D a better solution than Go or .Net Core? Is there
something else you would recommend given what I'm looking for?
Here's my take on the last one.
.Net Core is still immature and probably the most complex in
terms of infrastructure setup/maintenance. And my impression
is that Go vs D in the web space is more about personal
preference than any particular advantage, and I'm coming from
C++ so I think D would be more my cup of tea.
But that's just my impression from some initial googling.
thoughts? recommendations?
If you're coming from C++ you should pick up D in almost no time
and it will feel much more natural and less repetitive than go.
The best introductory reference is
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html if you come across
something you're unfamiliar with, but that is aimed more at
beginners, so you can just skim it.
The vibe.d site has may good examples.
You've already discovered one of the good places to ask questions
(the other being the IRC), so feel free to ask away if you have
any more.
Good luck!
