Yes, the IDE takes care of a lot of boilerplate code. It's ugly, but
it's hardly a productivity issue. One other thing that's cool is
refactoring is no longer an issue, like it is in C or C++. With powerful
IDEs, you can refactor without fearing too much regression, and that's a
very important advantage, especially in a heavily OO language.
That's no longer the case if you take a look at newer C/C++ IDE's like
the latest versions of XCode that uses Clang to handle basically all
language related features of the IDE, autocompletion, syntax
highlighting, refactoring and similar.
So we want a flexible compiler front end for D written in D as well,
right ?
Exactly, one that can be used as a library.
