And a splendid job Francis is doing. I should be contributing more, but till October, little chance of that.
The project could do with more people working on it. You'll get practice using Kotlin, which is the native code language that will be competing with Go and Rust next year! All programming languages have a number of niche IDE, but when it comes down to it, traction of a language is really determined by the support in Visual Studio, Eclipse, and IntelliJ IDEA. cf. Go, Rust, Kotlin. Clearly, on proper analysis, this is a correlation rather than a causation, but it is all intimately related. D needs the IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and Visual Studio plugins.
