What do you think about the future for D in the web service space?
I has use vibe.d for a small project recently, after finish that I
think the follow fact will
prevent many programmers use vibe.d in commercial projects:
1) Lack of successful open source project for real product
2) Multi thread performance is poor, scalability is not suit for big
project
3) No Inversion of Control (aka: Dependency Injection) Concept
4) No mature ORM/ODM components
5) No Form/Validator/Translation/Locale Components
6) No modernize framework
Some company has successful story in D use no-GC solution, for example:
Sociomantic, Hedge Fund by Andy Smith, weka.io... And they all are
close source.
There are thousands of web projects in development every day, D is not
use as development languages mainly because D is not ready yet.
2) I have zero experience with going beyond one thread, but as far as I
understand it multi-threading is not how vibe is supposed to scale.
Start up another instance will you!
3) It has been work-in-progress for some time now:
http://vibed.org/features#load-balancing
Not sure what the status of this is though.
4) Dunno about that..
5) Well, there is this:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/blob/master/source/vibe/utils/validation.d
and:
http://vibed.org/docs#web-localization
6) What is that?
In my experience, vibe.d is a beautiful alternative to node.js and it is
not the immaturity of D that is holding it back, vibe.d just needs to
grow a bit.
