Funkwerk has been using D for nearly a decade to rewrite and

from Mario Kröplin, I've just published the first of four posts 
about their project and their experience with D. This one is a 
Project Highlight that introduces the project, how they came to 
choose D for the rewrite, and how it worked out for them. We 
can expect to see three more posts, coming a rate of one a 
month from August to October, about other aspects of their D 
usage and experience.

Good post. It's nice to hear that some users find contracts 
useful. Things can only get better if DIP 1009 is accepted. :)

What are they using for HTTP now?


Currently, we're using our own utilities, based on 
https://github.com/dlang/undeaD/blob/master/src/undead/socketstream.d (with the mentioned garbage-collection issue).
