It's so damn nice, its a shame it's never taken off the way it could. I think there's still time to make it attractive to companies, but with people's increasing use of AI I don't think anyone even cares what language their model writes in, look at the insane uptick in Rust programming.

I try D almost every year, but I've never really gotten a working IDE environment with it. I'm not sure if it's issues with being on Windows or just the LSP not being that great. I really wish D was adopted as widely as Go.

Which IDE are you trying to setup with D? I've not had any issues... You may try DlangIDE possibly?

I've tried the intellij plugin and vscode extension. It never seems to work right. I remember there being lots of issues about not finding phobos/the standard library.

I dont use VS Code, I think I used Sublime and Spacemacs otherwise I used uh one of the other Linux editors I forget which one tbh

		I'll try again with sublime next time. I suspect its something to do with how the package manager installs the compiler/runtime.
