Hey guys,

can anyone recommend a more or less production-ready dev environment for vibe.d on Linux?
I'm evaluating vibe.d against Phoenix (Elixir/Erlang) for a new project. Today I gave Visual Studio Code a quick shot (with LDC 1.1.1 and DMD 2.071/72/74), with Webfreak's plugins, but I'm not happy at all (gdb/lldb crashing most of the time incl. debugged process, no AutoComplete/IntelliSense due to problems when building some of the plugin dependencies etc.).

Any hints are greatly appreciated, as I'm really impressed by vibe.d itself so far.

I really just use Atom along with plugins to call build scripts that eventually calls dub for building.

Sadly there's still no actual "good" D IDE.

I find MonoDevelop on Linux / Xarmain Studio on Windows with the D language plugin works quite well with Vibe 0.7.30 (OSX is worse but still somewhat useable). Code completion doesn't seem to work well with later versions. I've not tried debugging on Windows but on Linux there is support to use GDB which gives you breakpoints and things inside the IDE. I've not used it beyond breakpoints and inspecting variables I don't know what will work. I've heard that GDC works better with GDB than the other compilers but I've not personally verified that.

It just works including debugging, but autocompletion is rudimental.

I use sublime on ubuntu with D plugins. No phobos or vibe.d autocompletion though. I ok with it for now.

I was using php but vibe.d and D are more productive and capable plus phobos has useful stuff in it. DaemonizeD package is also very handy.
