My only concern is that attracting non-D people (who need to
switch
languages) on one hand requires some instantly interesting
feature(s)
and on the other hand many of them will probably easily get
discouraged
if something doesn't work right away.So everything that is more or less inside the D community is
definitely
fine, but I guess that advertising a polished version to the
'general
public' has the best chances to also reach some future
D-developers.All in all I would say there are three blockers that would be
good to have out of the way:
- vibedist has to work at least on localhost as a vhost
manager and
watchdog process
- the recently discovered memory leak needs to be fixed
- get the multithreaded HTTP server version thread-safe and
tune the
libevent back end so that we get some impressive benchmark
numbers as
this always seems to be a selling point to many (although these
benchmarks most of the time have nothing to do with reality
when it
comes to real apps
Eh, when I did a little server work, the main selling point was
"use as little resources as possible, so that we can give this
server almost
no resources."
It's all marketing and management who have no idea what's going
on and still insist that they make the final decision.
Politics, man. They suck.
