This category of tooling has many existing instances, it's
overwhelming. As far as I can tell, they're all experimental, or
broken, or designed only to target a specific application
(DMD), etc.
I think it would be an advantage if there were *one* tool, that
works,
in both directions, which is advertised, recommended, and
maintained
by the core group.
I've evaluated them all before at various points in time, but
the
landscape keeps shifting. Someone, please give me a prominent
hyperlink to the solution that *works*, and instructions. I
don't have
energy to re-do comprehensive evaluations on this front, I'm
spent.
Agree on one, make it the official one, and then track bugs
against it
in bugzilla?
I know this isn't quite what you asked for but you should get in
contact with Iain to generalise
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8591/files
As for the other direction, I'd suggest talking to Atila to get
app working for your use cases.
This is about as official as its going to get.
