There's some other stuff I've been eyeing too, like Hibernate-D <https://github.com/buggins/hibernated>.

And I have used NanoPB on something I'm not currently still working on: <https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/Nanopb>

You can try openshift.redhat.com

Sometime ago I used it for simple vibed app (evaluation purpose
only). Openshift provides access to Git repo on the server (for
deploy tasks).

Plus: it is free for small apps (Mongo and Postgres available as
datasources)

Minus: it may be a little tricky to install dmd + dub + ... You
should choose "The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) application type" and
install necessary libraries and tools by hand in you home
directory. More:

It is shared shell hosting.
The prices are very good (1 PLN stands for ~0.20 Euro). You can run anything you want.

They are even officially promoting D as one the languages they support ;)

After you buy an account you get access to 5 servers, shell-general one, web dedicated server, java server, torrent server, irc server.

Starting an D website is as simple as typing:

devil www add dhere.yourdomain.com pointer mdshell 3066

And running vibe app on port 3066 on shell server.
Of course you can reserve whatever port you want, and you can run app itself on whatever server you want. Although DMD is preinstalled on shell one.

+ you get other goodies like VPN in 5 different countries, free IPv6 address, git/svn repos etc

On a side note, those guys are FreeBSD freaks and stability is really strong there. I think they never got below 99,50% SLA since I am using their services.

I've been using Adam's stuff and my own stuff.
I also fired up some vibe.d demos but nothing fancy tbh. Actually DMD memory usages disallows me to even test vibed.org homepage on my local computer without workarounds (yeah, DMD just loves to hang computers when it does some hard CTFE ;))

You guys have been awesome. Excelent feedback, most helpful.

(I'm brewing some D stuff, when I'll post about it when the time is right)
