Hello. I got interested in the D language thanks to the D Programming Language book by Andrei Alexandrescu.
The relatively simple web benchmarks at http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ have been getting a lot of attention recently. Would it make sense to submit Vibe.d entries for the benchmarks?
It was recently discussed in main D newsgroup : http://forum.dlang.org/thread/urpqdftuofgwespkcdxg@forum.dlang.org
Initially I was eager to submit vibe.d there but after closer examination I am not sure anymore. Problem is that those benchmark actually focus on testing speed of user application modules, like JSON parsing/generation, while vibe.d main focus now is speed of HTTP server and event system core. Which will not be relevant as I/O and computational-heavy data generation will become a bottleneck earlier (I don't remember anyone optimizing json module in vibe.d so far!)
So it may not be a message we (community) want to be sent right now. I am still in doubts though.
