* Rust: Jetbrain IntelliJ + Rust plugin.
It looks like it has become a official supported plugin by Jetbrain.
Works perfectly out of the box. Impressive results and issue hinting.

Yep, i was right. Its now a official support plugin by Jetbrain.
And no offense but i doubt it has anything to do with Mozilla
officially backing Rust but more a sign of popularity. Just as how Go
got its own Editor by Jetbrain.
My impression so far is that most of the D users love to program in a
tiny editor without the features which modern IDE's gives you. That's
impressive, but outdated and even a bit silly if the project is bigger.
In any company I've been so far we've used IDE's, because their
feature-set and tools take so much work away from you - I don't want to
miss them anymore. Nowadays, the majority of programmers who are willing
to try new/others programming languages, think so too. I'm somewhat sure
that this unneccessary hurdle is one of D's biggest mistakes.
As an IDE junkie I've noticed this correlation in the past too. I wonder
which direction the causation runs--does D tend to appeal to the no-IDE
crowd, or do IDE-prefering people abandon D since there hasn't been
great IDEs support?
Regardless I'm very pleased by the recent trends. The vs-code plugins
are good and getting better, and DMD as a library should enable simpler
and more complete language support in any IDE. I believe we're getting
closer to the point where IDE junkies like me won't feel somewhat
short-changed, and that's impressive for a community-driven language like D.
