Just to be clear, it's not a good idea to have a full blown server in

exclusive, features from their servers.
Therefore, I don't web servers are good candidates for standardization.
Don't you have that issue with most stuff. Not everything can fit
everyone's need. I have never used std.bigint but it still present in
Phobos because it's useful from someone.
I agree with the complexity of web servers but they don't need to handle
all the gory details off clients not following the protocol. I would
think it works perfectly fine for non-public facing servers. For public
facing servers it should sit behind a well test well understood
implementation like Apache or nginx, regardless if the implementation is
in Go, Node.js or D.
