One GIF is the behaviour in C# I would like to have in D
as well with static if, and the other is displaying typeid
on hover.
The second is a debug session. Visual Studio doesn't show
type information in debug session for C# either, only
variable name and value.
True, but could it?
Visual D already does that with the help of the semantic
highlighting: if an identifier is classified as a type or
compile time value, it suppresses the debugger data tool tip
and presents the usual one.
Oh, I see. What about dub integration. How much effort would
it be to have something similar to what code-d has in vsc?
Guesstimation?
I'm not much of a dub user. Last time I checked, using it as a
package manager was fine, but not as a build tool. Dependency
checks were incomplete and rather slow. The visuald project
generation is pretty dated and doesn't support multiple
configurations which kind of breaks the usual VS workflow.
I think for better integration dub project generation needs to
be improved (and extended to vcxproj files), or Visual D has to
do it itself from "dub describe" (if that's possible). The
latter would also allow seamless updates of the project in the
background.
Then, integration of package management can be considered.
As far as I remember (circa 2015) Mono-D [0] was the IDE with the
best Dub support - you could just open dub.json files as if they
were project files (sln/csproj). This was by far the most
seamless experience back when I was using IDEs more heavily.
Visual-D could also use Dub as a library, similar to [1][2]. Also
it would be nice to integrate code.dlang.org, just like NuGet is
integrated for .NET in VS.
