Hi there. I'm the serverino's author.

Could you please explain better what's wrong with it?

It could be useful to improve newcomers experience.

How did you choose serverino over other frameworks?

Oh the issue isn't with serverino itself but with the lack of tooling-support for the language features that serverino makes heavy use of. And while serverino is open source, so one can ultimately view its source code, not having access to modern IDE type inspection adds a lot of unnecessary friction.

Still curious: How did you choose Serverino among the many servers?

Might seem silly, but the choice just came from looking at (https://code.dlang.org/search?q=websockets) and seeing that serverino is the only one maintained. vibe-d isn't listed there, I only learned about that later. Basically, serverino has good SEO.

Thanks, good to know. Also the fact that you searched directly on the site is a clue for me :)

How so, if I may ask?

Well, you might have searched for GitHub or got there from some page where serverino was mentioned (forum, ...) or maybe someone suggested it to you in the community. Once a program of mine was mentioned in a telegram channel and I started seeing a lot of stars on github and I didn't understand why.
