Hi All,
Not entirely certain if there is a decent D web applications server
implementation as of yet, but if there is a project going on, I'd love
to have a gander.
On the off-chance there isn't one, who would be interested in going at
it, call it, a 'group' project.
I've been yearning for a D web app server for a while, as most of my day
to day work is done on Java EE containers (think Glassfish, Weblogic,
etc. Java Beans, lalala) and the insane system usage has bothered me
from day one.
There's Wt for C++, although I don't see much coming from that, though
the concept is grand. Rust has a few up and coming web server frameworks
as well.
D could really excel here.
-Thoughts? Am I crazy (probably)?
I wrote Cmsed[0], web service framework which uses Vibe.d and Dvorm
(ORM)[1].
They are both sunsetted.
I'm currently working on a web server[2] that will ultimately replace a
good bit of what Vibe.d is currently being used for. Which will be using
libasync[3] (backend for vibe.d but purely in D) instead of Vibe.d.
Of course progress is slow and my current set of code is not up in the
repository as I wrote it on stream[4]. My intention is there, is once
std.experimental.image gets more boring again / can't do much on stream
I'll start work on it again. Once it comparable to what I've got on
repo, I'll update it.
In terms of what the web server will be like, Apache httpd config
syntax[5] but a LOT more dynamic ala JSP style.
Once web server is done then I'll continue with my web service framework
based upon Cmsed. Most of that code is ready to go. It's just things
like reloading and templates that need rewriting.
