The harder part is finding ways to make it work by overcoming
its
weaknesses.
Here is a counter-proposal:
1. Add Dub to D.
2. Add a "web development" link in the sidebar, which simply
links to
vibed.org.
3. Add an example on the front page on how to create a simple
web
server. It needs to list only main.d and package.json, and the
dub
command line to build it. A package.json will be needed for
non-trivial
things anyway, so might as well get that out of the way anyway.
4. Unite the Vibe.d forum with forum.dlang.org. I should be
able to do
this by making forum.dlang.org connect to it via NNTP.
I think this will achieve much of your goal without the
drawbacks.
I would like to add putting focus on getting libasync[0] phobos
ready instead of the vibe.d direction.
It might be a lot younger, but it is also have a lot smaller
scope.
Perhaps even a rewrite of std.socket to use it?
It is a lot of work, but its probably a more manageable unit of
work in the short term.

and yes, we are using vibe.d in production, but libasync also.
