Yes!! I want a standalone version too.
I like Mono-D very much, however, not being able to type the
"~" key in MonoDevelog is really annoying.
I can't really agree here. Lets take the GSOC-List as the list of
crucial points about the D language ecosystem which need to be
fixed asap. All other stuff is extra and not even close as
important. (Don't forget the mono-D plugin is written in C#,
hence porting would be required with the implications of having
to keep D and C# code in sync). Please don't let us lose focus
here again...
1. We need a proper IDE
2. We need the GC problems/issues get fixed
(3. an official gc-less runtime)
At least I consider those points crucial for the success of D.
CTFE etc. are (very) nice things, but don't make the very core of
D any stable now.
