What exactly do you want to do with vibe.d that it can't anyway?

I don't expect Go to be perfect and as with every language you need to get a good sense of the dark corners. At least it looks like there are not so many of them, and as long as you are doing "normal" stuff you won't be bitten too frequent.

I find the code with @ ugly. But i know this is not a good argument. Maybe the glue could have been done better. I think there is a lot of functionality but I don't understand it by looking at the code which you easily can with flask or rails.

Don't get me wrong, D is great, it has a lot of technically cool things on board.

As said, those technical things won't be our major decision aspect. The non-technical aspects are more important when looking from a company perspective.

The question is: Which language and eco-system take how much time to learn to become productive? As team? How to handle a code-base that requires multi-year maintenance?

Well, from a business perspective "hope" is a very bad advisor.

My opinion: D really shines when it comes to long code base maintenance. It is easy to write beautiful, expressive and high quality code.

While there could be more native D libraries, please do not forget that you can use easily any (battle tested) C library by having a minimal D wrapper. Everything I needed, I was always able to find s.th. (Kafka, Parquet, AWS, Azure).

From a business perspective, using D is a success story.

One concept at a time.
This is one of the simplest examples in vibe.d.
I look for the code for the same functionality but without authentication/login.
https://github.com/vibe-d/vibe.d/blob/master/examples/web/source/app.d
Where are the @ lines explained ?

While this is already a sophisticated example and you might look for a simpler one (app skeleton/http server) I really like this example.
You can read the source code like a story and the comments actually described the purposes of the @ UDAs.

(They are also new for me, I only use the WebSocket server part of Vibe.d so far).

Kind regards
Andre

Is there an example just more functional then skeleton http server ?
Sending data to the server and back .

forms.
