It depends on specific IDE.
I don't see how the interface generator is stopping you from
releasing the IDE anyways.
It's GUI framework (set of libraries) what I cannot release. IDE
is without the libs quite useless.
All it would really stop is
potentially third party plugins. Even then you can just write
the interface files yourself. Wouldn't be that hard, just
coping the source file and removing function bodies for the
most part. What you'd need to do if you were writing C++ code,
but you would keep the header and source files in sync as you
were developing.
Wouldn't be that hard but the project have 200k lines of code.
Making header files manually is a wast of time what i don't have.
But the point is that D compiler specification[1] looks like this
part works without a problem and is usable but it's a lie and
nobody cares about it. Actually it will not ruin my project but
complicates it. And this is not the way in which should business
be made. 10 years of development and still some key features
won't work properly.
