I agree with basically everything in that article.
I would also appreciate any specific feedback
I too agree with what you write!
* do you think such project is worth the effort?
Absolutely! A huge undertaking, but if successful, extremely
valuable for the future of D.
* do you feel that D ecosystem lacks tool support?
I do. I believe the toolset is important for any serious language.
* Does this prevent many from using D?
I definitely think it does! It prevents me from doing anything
other that simple experiments. I'm an IDE guy - I just won't do
real work without a good IDE.
* which tools are needed most?
A good IDE is top prio for me, but an IDE should include a lot of
other tools (compiler, refactoring, debugging, profiling, build
tool, testing framework etc). Also a GUI library, as others have
mentioned.
* Which may be needed, but are not a high priority for you?
Don't know. The more tools the better! ;)
* was this post useful?
Not in itself, but the topic is imporant and the DCT is a great
initiative.
* What could I change to make future posts in the series better?
No comment.
* should I add commenting on my blog, or dlang forum is better
for that?
dlang is fine.
