As the creator of Diamond, then I can say it's 100% intentional
that it reminds of ASP.NET. It was originally just an
alternative template engine to vibe.d to create views similar
to razor, but now it's a full-stack web-framework specifically
targeting enterprise development, hence why the similarities to
ASP.NET.
As described on the website (https://diamondmvvc.org/):
"Diamond is build on modern principles using vibe.d, inspired
by ASP.NET and razor templates."
It can also be used in combination with vibe.d projects, in
which you can just utilize the extra tools Diamond gives you
such as some additional security, authentication, api creation,
database management (ORM) etc.
Thank you both for all the links! I guess DiamondMVC is very
powerful but I would rather avoid using such heavy artillery. I'm
expecting the learning curve to be very long.
Do you know of template engines in D ? like Jinja2 in Python for
example. It would be way more lightweight and free-dependancies
compared to a fully featured framework like DiamondMVC, besides
the gain in time thanks to the simplicity of use.
