This is not even an issue. IDEs can create a dub.json for all new
projects and call 'dub describe' on imported projects without ever
touching SDLang. Again, *there is no problem here*.
The problem is dependency from dub because some dependencies of a
project can have SDL configs.
The only valid reason for an IDE to directly parse the package
description is basically if it wants to provide a custom UI for editing
it. If the IDE is written in D, it can easily use DUB as a library and
not only get the package description in a common format, but also nicely
statically typed. If not, the conversion feature that was planned for
the next version would trivially solve that, too.
