Development Tooling
Language Server
D development is aided by a continuously improved and maintained language server called serve-d. It is entirely written in D and therefore performant and portable. The feature set is complete and extended. In order to benefit the most, make sure you are using an editor which supports tight integration with language servers.
Here's a quick peek about its features:
- auto-completion
- linting
- formatting
- navigation
- outline
- searching
- coverage analysis
Addtional Tooling
Editors can provide extended support for D. The following table tracks enhancements for developing with D. If there is a Add-On required, it is linked. Otherwise it notes about build-in enhancement for working with D.
