Dear D users,
after a long time evaluating all options I think I finally
committed to D and vibe.d! Since I’ll have a lot of memory
usage and I want to do an MMORPG I always was scared off by
GC-enabled languages, but after thoroughly evaluating what this
language (and vibe.d) gives me in terms of performance, memory
usage (this is especially important, a lot of GC-languages like
Java have unacceptable memory bloat for objects etc.) and
productivity I think this is the best decision. Obviously I’ll
have some work to do later to move most of the objects out of
the GC (they usually live from the start of the server to the
end of the server) but I now thinks that this work is still a
lot less then all the other work combined. I especially like
the built-in contract programming, invariants and unit-tests
and I think they’ll be worth a lot! And even more awesome is
the compile-time reflection for serialization (very important
for my projects).
So, what I actually wanted to ask, which part/project do you
think mostly needs contribution? The D documentation on this
page? Mono-D (I’ll be using that, already contributed to an
issue)? DUB? vibe.d and its documentation? More tutorials on a
seperate blog?
Please tell me what you think! :-)

A good web service stack is the main thing for Vibe I believe.
Because of this I started Cmsed (I'll push it into repo soon) a
component library that also functions as a content management
system. I also built and still working on an ORM (Dvorm [0]).
I need OpenDBX support for e.g. Mysql added to it. I have
bindings to it available. Mongo already supported.
There is also standards like odata I wish to support with my
router natively. For this I need some sort of relationship system
within Dvorm.
I strongly believe some sort of GWT [1] inspired system is also
required to work alongside a router. I did have this planned for
DOOGLE [2] but since talk about a new gui base system, there's
little point in me continuing it.
But from a practical side. We need articles showing good examples
of simple code to do awesome stuff.
Benchmarks on memory/cpu usage ext. Also very important.
At the end of day, choose what you're good at and love. It'll
help no matter what it is :)
