Just stumbled upon this: https://code.visualstudio.com/ I see support for Rust and Go, but no D.

Re: Visual Studio Code
Im using visual studio code with vibed and dub, it's working very well. Visual studio code support jade files. Would be happy to see official support for D. atm I have my own basic custom "D support". You can copy/paste/edit c# support and edit the files to add D keywords, it's very easy. You can do this in this path (for windows): %AppData%\Local\Code\app-0.1.2\resources\app\plugins If you want visual code to recognize .dt (vibed diet templates) as jade files, you can edit vs.language.jade/ticino.plugin.json add .dt in extentions : "extensions": [ ".jade" , ".dt"], restart visual studio code.

Votes are sitting at 649 as I'm writing this. Organizing by top ideas currently puts D support near the top of page 2. Just a side note, looking at the main page of dlang.org, I don't see any reference to who's using/contributing to D, or a link thereto. I think it would help a lot of the logos of the D language's top sponsors could be seen somewhere on the main page. Maybe along the bottom as "Proud D users" or something. The top ~10 sponsors could be chosen based of the dollar amounts or man hours contributed. C++ has "Gold members" on their about page: https://isocpp.org/about Rust has a "Team" page: https://www.rust-lang.org/team.html Python has success stories: https://www.python.org/about/success/ I could probably find more, but suffice it to say, it's a common occurrence.

Heh, funny you mention this, as I have a tab open in my browser open to the dlang.org github to remind me to submit a PR for just such an "about" page. However, those examples are not that great for D, as it has no foundation or levels of sponsorship like C++, no formal teams like Rust, and that python page is actually not very good, though certainly long. I was thinking a page to briefly recap the language's genesis, introduce the two BDFLs, and mention corporate and project successes, along with some quotes from prominent users. Feel free to submit a PR with what you have in mind and we could write it together: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pulls Whether it would ever actually be merged is a different question. ;)

I don't know the details, but I read a post somewhere that there are misconceptions about how long D, or more specifically D2 has been around. I believe these misconceptions could beget questions like "D has been around so long, why does it still have so many bugs!?" So you're probably right that this should be addressed.

I think the first step would be to draft an email explaining the intent to put these companies' logos on the home page as "Proud Users of the D Programming Language" and get Walter or Andrei to sign off on it. This email could also contain a suggested layout. If approved, we could send the letter to the relevant contacts, and if we get a decent number of Yes's, we could move forward with collecting the companies' information/logos and deciding how/where they should be displayed. This could also act as a sort of plug for the companies involved. It could also be discussed whether or not it was a good idea to put an "Are you using D?" link on the main page by which a company could ask for their name/logo to be included.

Its pretty unfortunate that it doesn't work because VSCode is the only editor that has all ticks on this page https://wiki.dlang.org/Editors so people new to D are more likely to try VSCode first (like me), only wasting time if they are on Windows.

There are about 3 plug-ins for D on Atom, all of which aren't exactly spectacular. They are all missing a few keywords IIRC and/or also fuck up your syntax highlighting quite badly with some constructions (primarily the ones with parentheses).

If the filename does not contain install or setup there is no elevation at all, so nothing is circumvented. As Kagamin noted this is to keep legacy installers working in a way that your average non-poweruser can use. If you wish to use these words in your filename without elevating, just add a manifest, which you should do anyways ^^

Elevation heuristics is not a security feature indeed, it only improves security UX. If an installer runs nonelevated, it will fail halfway through, which is bad UX, the solution is to run it elevated from the beginning, the system detects the need for elevation when the process starts. A proper way to do it is to inform the system whether the process needs elevation, it's done in a manifest, but old installers don't have manifest, so they are detected heuristically.

Would it be possible to add the other search terms? Same point had already been raised in a plugin review btw. Maybe you could also rename the plugin to dlang?

[OT] Visual Studio Code on three platform
Microsoft is releasing .NET Core for Linux, Windows, and Mac. http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/29/microsoft-launches-its-net-distribution-for-linux-and-mac/#.jlueia:elZb I cannot find the flexibility of D in C# though, having .NET on every platform will be a big gain for them I think. http://live.theverge.com/microsoft-build-2015-live-blog/
Visual Studio Code, Code-D and Microsoft's Visual C++ Debugger (cppvsdbg)
Good time of day, everyone
Recently I've got myself into D Language again, but got a problem
with debugging on Windows, obviously. While Visual D with Mago
provides pretty comfortable workflow, I highly appreciate what
Code D did with it's more closer and tight integrating with
DScanner and DFormat, better DUB workflow and so on... The
biggest problem there is debugging on Windows OS. GDB from either
Microsoft's C/C++ plugin (ms-vscode.cpptools) or WebFreak's
Native Debug (webfreak.debug) didn't took me anywhere. Broken
Mago-MI integration in WebFreak's Native Debug (which I have
"fixed" locally after few moves around) didn't took me far as
well, the best I got was something bad about Stack Frame.
Meanwhile, the original Microsoft's Visual C++ Debugger
(cppvsdbg) is working pretty much flawless with D. With the
problem, of course, not being able to show what is inside of the
slice/dynamic arrays. Having "fun" with Natvis (The Visual Studio
Natvis framework lets you customize the way Visual Studio
displays native types in debugger variable windows) I found that
giving D types to catch won't work as Visual C++ Debugger
(cppvsdbg) is expecting valid C++ names to work with.
I mostly gave up there, but then I found interesting trick that
Visual Rust and Rust plugin for Visual Studio Code are using.
They added option to compiler to write debug information as
that's C++ code (so they doesn't have to come up with their own
debugger for Windows), with pretty simple trick in rustc and
simplest Natvis file they then have integrated into PDB that they
ship with it. So I've tried to apply that to DMD and see what
will happen.
Currently, as matter of experiment, I've changed it on my side
permanently, but thinking about adding new flag to DMD. The
change was about this big:
//
diff --git a/src/dmd/hdrgen.d b/src/dmd/hdrgen.d
index d9eca8721..a02c6bfef 100644
--- a/src/dmd/hdrgen.d
+++ b/src/dmd/hdrgen.d
@@ -814,8 +814,9 @@ public:
else
{
L1:
+buf.writestring("__dlang::__darray<");
visitWithMask(t.next, t.mod);
-buf.writestring("[]");
+buf.writestring(">");
}
}
//
Now, equipped with that one and fairly small Natvis file that can
be integrated into DMD somewhere and/or Code D, I've got nice
views with flawlessly working Visual C++ Debugger on my D code.

This one can be further expanded with correct expanding of
string, wstring, dstring and/or any other built-in
interesting/specific/complex types from D. What people working on
DMD think about adding something likes this? Will it break
everything? What if that will be added as DMD command line option
to make life easier for end user on Windows for their own
projects (at least they may enable that temporary while
debugging, so it won't add side effects to anything else)?
P.S. Even without any optional switch that haven't broke Mago on
Visual D, so working with D, especially debugging, can become
far, far easier than it's now. Even with this small change I'm
able to continue working on my project without thinking twice why
I haven't stayed on C++.

Rainer Schuetze would be the person closest to this topic, I think. Doesn't Visual D already have something in it to get the VS debugger to understand some D types better?

Unfortunately you can't make Natvis to understand D symbols as it's purely for C++. You can make C# extension for Visual Studio to do pretty much whatever, but that's not usable much as it doesn't work for VS Code from what I found (and C# are extremely complex for this matter from my point of view). I think Visual D is using Mago internally via DLLs or something, and doing it's own thing. Something like -gc would be great to have again (I guess I missed that one), even -gcpp (to pretend it's C++) that can be used by pretty printing in GDB (fairly simple changes in Python scripts from printing standard C++ stuff) and Microsoft's Debugger. So the classes, namespaces, containers, dynamic arrays can be easily represented with actually having structure and sense from C++ point of view.

Forgot to mention that Microsoft added partial support (that may be more than sufficient for D case) to their C/C++ in VS code for both GDB and LLDB. So this one may be useful to make debugging more friendly on Linux and Mac as well!

Thanks for pointing me at -gc. That's way better place to continue needed work for making Natvis working properly and happy. Of course, the start is ugly, bat that's the start: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vb5fjwclrzcwl3l/dmd-return-of-gc-for-natvis-0001.diff?dl=0
