Hello,

I am an author of some more lightweight benchmark WebFrameworkBenchmark, it is much simpler but also more friendly benchmark than Techempower's Benchmark.

I wanted to ask you to have a look at my Vibe.d results, which are pretty disappointing, just below Ruby performance and far below C and Java frameworks. Vibe.d looks really nice, it has interesting features, but its performance really needs some love (aka optimizations).

Yeah I found the same. I really want to use D for web API development, but the benchmarks are currently not encouraging.

I wrote a simple function that loads 100 records from MySQL, populates some structs with said data, and then json encodes the lot as output. I then wrote the same in PHP and used Apache bench to benchmark 100,000 requests with a concurrency of 10. Essentially the D / Vibed solution was slightly slower than PHP. PHP does have a fast / efficient JSON encoder and I know D's JSON encoder isn't the best, but still...

Does anyone know if the performance is something that can/will be improved anytime soon?
