Awesome job, Alex!
With the performance improvements of Mono 2.8.6.5 and
Parser/Performance improvements of Mono-D 3.0 working with D is
on par with working with C# in Visual Studios. Even better
since I get the same experience on all three platforms.
It would be nice to see Mono-D (and other IDEs) linked to from
the dlang.org somewhere. So new D users won't have to dig
through the forums or sift through dead dsource.org projects to
find it. Seeing as how, for some of us, proper IDE support is a
big issue, and Mono-D + MonoDevelop is virtually on-par with
Visual Studios (productivity wise).
I think it would help D's popularity to some degree if we could
direct people to some "officially" supported IDEs. With Mono-D
on top of course! ;)
Ha yeah, thanks, perhaps it would be cool to have a central
Tutorial page on which everything becomes explained -- so first
setting up dmd/gdc/ldc etc. on all platforms, setting up editors
and IDEs, so on a real step-by-step basis, along with
screenshots, Q&A sections and stuff .. I guess this would
actually push! (And please, don't name Mono-D only, it isn't even
finished yet though there are _some_ completion features ;-) )
One gui from wrote a document yesterday that explaines how to
install dmd and MonoDevelop and Mono-D in a really noob-safe way
