Yes but I'd be surprised to learn that their daily D application
domain is as IDE-demanding as your game dev experience.
My suggestion is to encourage dev's to use the same tools the
end users are
using, and declare them first-class language features. I reckon
it'll
improve quick-smart under that environment.
I simply don't see this working with current D development model.
After all, open-source is not about simply working for free - it
is about working for yourself and then sharing it. But there
needs to be some _personal_ interest in implementing something,
end users are just side effect. Well, of course I can't say
anything about D dev motivation but I simply can't imagine people
spending that much time on something they don't need, are not
interested in and gain nothing from.
If anything, that indicates that there needs to be more game dev
guys among the core devs.
