Here is exactly your problem - trying to do a web development
on Windows :P Really I have never understood that
counter-productive obsession with a habit that makes people
differentiate development environments and production
environments so much. You aren't going to use Windows servers,
are you?
Completely, I agree with dicebot.
For a webserver usually is a Linux for many reason not a windows.
Guy who want to use a windows as server :
case 1 is a noob
case 2 is a specifics needs
Even microsoft use some linux server for his resources.
So to me the problem of D that is the waste of energy.
D exist since 1999, if we look behind, what is done?
We have :
- a huge cimetery of project
- no D killer application
- miss the goal what to do to improve D experience
- each new D release your application is broken and often with
some D compiler bugs
With around 15 years of works we are at same state as the
beginning.
What to de:
- Stop to add new feature in D (new annotation or whatever is
not an urgent needs)
- Get a compiler and a language stable
- When this is done work on some free (libre) framework in some
specific fields
* grid computing (sub-field: data-computing)
* web-server
* graphics conputing (sub-field: gui )
And not more, not to disperse …
But after ) years in D i start to doubt …
