Mind you, D doesn't need omnipotent toolchains. A text editor and command line will do. I now use DUB, but you can still get away with "$ dmd app.d ..." or shell script. Toolchains and IDE's should not be a criterion for evaluating a language. "Oh, D doesn't have an IDE / proper toolchain", that doesn't mean the language is bad. It actually means that the language is so good, it doesn't need them. It's a nice-to-have but not a must have.
"Tool chain" includes the compiler (and linker), which D needs both to be usable.
