It's been some time since I last posted to this newsgroup, I've been
quite busy these past weeks!
Among other things, I started writing an IDE for D from scratch and
opened a SourceForge project for it a few minutes ago, I'll also open a
dsource project to link to the sf one in the following days.
At first I tried to code it in D using wxD but soon found out the
limitations of these bindings, then I tried to write my own wxWidgets
bindings which worked great until i realized I was leaking memory like
hell and had a hard time linking garbage collected D objects to C++
reference counted objects without adding complex overhead.
So after spending two weeks on these failed attempts, I jumped back into
C++ after two years of almost only writing D code, this time using
boost, and boy is that library sweet!
Here is the (very simple) website of the project, with a screenshot of
the program so far, the content is hard coded for now to test the custom
editor painting routines.

Though I don't use an IDE myself, I think this is great. It is often
mentioned on the NG that one of the things keeping people away from D is
the fact that there are so few IDEs with good D support.
Are you strictly targeting Windows, or will this be available for other
platforms as well?
