There are definitely several benefits of having
aggregated compile-time known list of routes. Actually I
have added it as one of examples for my DConf talk just
yesterday :) This list, however, can possibly be built
automatically via reflection provided single root entry

I think good flexible framework should provide user both
options and infer as much as possible by convention.
Hmm interesting idea, although I'd feel a lot happier
about it if the compiler was able to (with a switch most
likely) infer/create automatically package.d files with
auto import of all sub modules if it doesn't exist.
Sounds like typical use case for imaginary dub plugin
system.
Perhaps but in the compiler, the file system wouldn't
actually be changed. And the explicit package.d files would
merely be overrides.
There's nothing stopping you from automatically making a
temporary directory structure for building. No need to alter
it in-place.
The way this discussion is going I'll have a new build manager
built specifically for web development. This is where I'm
gonna say 'no'.
Hmm now if only I understand assembly better. And was able to
write a JIT then maybe. Maybe then I could implement my evil
ideas.
A JIT for D? That would be many, many man-years of work.
Nah written in D. But in saying that, it would probably be one of
the first languages I'd have a go at.
