Which IDE best supports D? I’m a fan of JetBrains products in general but would happily install something else for better ergonomics.


VSCode with a code-d plugin.


I remember that extension eating 3 GB of ram on my macbook because I had format-on-save on.


This plugin has been worked on and the issue could have been fixed by now. I rarely used VSCode for D because the language doesn're really need an IDE support like Java or Scala. But I do agree that for beginners and IDE support is important. I use vim with DCD: https://github.com/dlang-community/DCD


Just checked, the issue does not persist anymore.


VisualD if you're accustomed to Visual Studio classic it's pretty much the same.


D has a language server (LSP) you can use any IDE/editor that supports it

- Sublime Text

- vscode

- vim/nvim

- emacs

etc..
