Can you tell something about in what ways D code is prettified?
How does it compare to dfmt?
To see how the prettified looks like, the easiest way is to have
a look at any D source code file on the SenseLogic github account
(https://github.com/senselogic/).
All of them have had their spacings, indentations and alignments
automatically standardized by Prettify.
Basically, it's just
I've released a small open source plugin for Geany, which calls

It's mainly targeted for programmers like me who use Geany to

I have released five of my internal tools on Github under the GNU

also to indirectly promote the D language, in which most of them

For those interested, Basil, my textual database designer, can
now export database schemas in SQL, CQL, Go and Crystal format,
and their fake data in SQL and CQL format.
I've slightly changed the syntax so that the table columns can
use any combination of scalar types, foreign keys, tuples,
