We really like how clean the design became and how well it scales. The next services are already planned. These are all new components that we used to give D an honest try and we are already confident that the existing (old) modules will gradually be reimplemented using D. This is great stuff for my dconf talk!

Same goes for data models with querying it.

But I am actually not familiar with that side of it, we use vibe.d for the REST api layer in the backend that the website uses but the page it self is delivered using conventional apache/php.

I'm currently toying with it in Cmsed. As I already have most of the information available it seems a waste. That and I'm already generating the javascript modal versions of the data models registered. If you're interested in a case its currently working [0]. Note I haven't actually tested the outputted Javascript but I'm pretty sure it is valid and pretty easy to fix if not. I'm very interested in how streamlining of web development could be done. Especially for removing menial tasks like this can be done. [0] https://gist.github.com/rikkimax/9831506

Re: finally using D at work
Can you share the D presentation material you used at work? It would be great to also share this with other game development companies that are interested.
