At least on Ubuntu, this gives me an IDE:
dub run dlangide
I have not used it much and I don't know if it works on
Windows, but it might be the easiest way once you installed
dmd and dub.
Windows 10:
dub run dlangide
Failed to find a package named 'dlangide'.
You have to fetch it first if you don't already have it:
dub fetch dlangide
dub run dlangide
Of course, you might still have an issue...
I know but this illustrates the OP his point. Do you see a
warning tell people they can need to use fetch? Its the small
details that can made the experience much more nice but because
everybody here is such D experts, they can not see that for a new
user he will not have a clue what is going on.
D is riddled with less then friendly behavior simply because the
developers are used to this and they do so from memory.
Why does it take a whole bunch of commands to make a shared
library and link it. Go has it down to a simple clean command.
Seen it also in other languages where is more easy. Yet D focuses
on the old C++ style because the people developing D all come
from this background and do not realism that there is something
called user friendly.
Its everywhere over the D landscape and it makes it hard for
people who are not C++/D aluminate then it needs to be. Its a
missed opportunity and instead of always focusing on adding new
language features, there need to be a clear period of focusing on
user friendliness.
And by the way that command above on my tablet results in:
Fetching dcd 0.9.1 (getting selected version)...
dlangui 0.9.160: building configuration "default"...
Error: out of memory
dmd failed with exit code 1.
1.3GB free on a 4GB system... Out of memory really!
