I am looking for a RESTful framework in D, which can interact with an existing backend processes (C++) via ZeroMQ and shared memory. I thought vibe.d might be a viable option. But I discussed with someone on Freenode #d and found that vibe.d doesn't support explicit threading [1].

Can someone confirm the behaviour?
Is it not possible to allocate a bunch of threads or a threadpool for vibe.d to work with?

PS: We have this working already with C++ only solution where the frontend communication happens on protobuf over ZeroMQ. I'm just trying to migrate it to RESTful interface.

I looked at vibe.d examples, one of them uses futures [1], which implies explicit thread handling is possible. But I'm not sure about pre-spawned threadpool.
