Rust is making good progress on the IDE aspect with the announcement : http://www.jonathanturner.org/2017/01/rls-alpha-release.html. HN discussion : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13422228

It will be good to see the protocol implemented so that many tools and IDEs can use the interface to provide better tooling for development.

This is very important, this protocol is used by Eclipse, VSCode, and will take over tooling. This will decorrelate language services and IDEs.
Meetings with people from many code editors led to this standard.

And it's unclear if workspace-d is an implementation of LSP or not (but it seems close).

I saw that today and was considering making a D implementation my next pet project.

I saw it quite ago and I was thinking to just write a translation layer for DCD. It would be the most pragmatic choice ( have one almost official completion tool which can speak in many protocols, not many different tools) but it's not the most exciting projec ever..

A rust language server has also landed in GNOME Builder IDE and now rust is a first candidate in Buider (the number one Linux/GNOME IDE).
