Because of this, part of my design with DOOGLE is to make the
abstraction in such a way that it should be possible to build almost
identical (in code) desktop and web apps. If we had this alone, things
like IDE's would become very attractive to dev's. Write one interface in
code and have it usable in whole bunch of mediums.
Because of the web development nature, there is one specific project I
believe to be key to show this off. A CMS. But to do this effectively we
need things like a good router, ORM and all that type of thing. Not to
mention lack of sql based database support in vibe currently.
I'm working on a Framework/CMS where all controllers are in oData so you
can create desktop/mobile applications in e.g. OpenUI5 - this allows
compiling the D Language into a Desktop/Mobile application with
Javascript UI with under 4 mb.
Every library e.g. Users (core) would be in oData, with the ability to
add fields and relations when loading your own library with a consistent
db e.g. sqlite/mongodb. There would be oData connectors for each db. All
libraries simply add up to create the final application with a unified
database/oData object per domain services. You could call the oData
remotely, but you can also issue calls internally to the host-local
services to build a HTML frontend in vibe.d with oData controller.
There's tons of things I'm planning for this framework. It's going to be
a little like a kernel with hooks & event handlers, but with the
settings in Lua pre-runtime. API is being developed here:

I'm looking forward to some comments, I'm only going to plan the
structure for a few more days
