Build web apps with Vibe.d

by learning from a learner

Last updated 4 months ago

Vibe.d is an app development framework written in the D language. However, an expert-level knowledge of D is not required to develop apps in Vibe.d. Its simplicity and productivity is so impressive. And when you deploy, if you made things right, there is only one executable file to deploy. No CLR or JVM to install, no fiddling with Apache config files to launch a library or interpreter.

Vibe.d and its simplicity is even more impressive when compared to the complexity of Spring / Hibernate and the technologies needed just to build a simple application. Yes, Java is fantastic, fantastically complex. The Java language itself isn’t that complex but it is the ecosystem built around it that made things what they are. People cannot get that simplicity is the summit of sophistication: it means the creator(s) labored so hard to make things simple.

There is a dearth of tutorials on Vibe.d. That is what this author found out when trying to re-learn Vibe.d, hence this tutorial.
