I agree in almost everything what Jacob said. I would say, that binding generator improvement is even higher than testing framework though.
Absolutely, I just wrote the list in no particular order. But at the same time you need to be able to test the binding generator :)
Tools are good, but making compiler and library more reliable is crucial thing.
Yeah, it always comes back to the compiler. And preferably it should be written in D as a library.
Still, some kind of library which would share (AST or i don't know how to name that) implementation with compilers front-end is just after that. I'm not really sure if that's what you mean (since you mentioned more high-level features), but without separating some code out from compiler, different IDEs will rewrite the same code again and again. And i guess we all agree that single IDE wont satisfy needs of everyone (of course there is more uses of library like that than only IDEs)
That was that I meant. One compiler library every tool can take advantage of. The actual compiler should use the library as well, of course.
