For those who don't know, ycmd (https://github.com/Valloric/ycmd) is an
editor-agnostic completion engine that aims to reduce a lot of the
duplicate code written for handling autocompletions in different
language/editor combinations.
A long time ago, there was a request to get D support integrated into ycmd:
https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/521
It was closed as DCD was not 'stable' at the time. After DCD became
'stable', it seemed there was nobody available to put together the ycmd
integration.
Do people think there would be value in reviving this effort?
I was playing around with integrating D completion into YCMD, but I'm
getting to the point where it is becoming non-trivial.
I'm mainly interested in autocompletion in Vim, which already works
reasonably well with Dutyl (a plugin that, among other things, helps set
up vim's omnifunc to use DCD).
Would it be worthwhile to try to move D completion forward by
integrating DCD with ycmd, or is it just better to keep working on
existing editor-specific solutions like Dutyl?
I tried a while ago to setup DCD to be used in vim, with no success
(even having Brian's ear at dconf to look at the issues, but he's not a
vim guy).
IMO, the most useful improvement would be to make an easy-install
package for DCD so it works with whatever editor the install is for.
What that uses in the background, I couldn't care less :) So if ycmd is
it, go for it. Just make it so I can install it easy!
