That'd cut my productivity in half. My internet connection frequently
goes down for a minute to 5 minutes. Cloud applications are just not
feasible.
There have been suggestions to add something like this to dmd.
imports from URLs or something like that - because its faster than
having a build tool do this (try to build - realize that dependency is
missing from DMDs error message - download dependency from central
repository - try to build again ...)
