I've put a first cut at an emacs mode for D in the uploads section of

http://dlanguage.netunify.com/38

The basic support is for most of the syntax and keywords and font-lock for highlighting. Some D-specific constructs aren't supported like nested comments (I've been wrestling with cc-engine.el to figure out how cc-mode parses comments -ugh!), but in general I've found it does a reasonable job with most of the sample files and phobos.

Hopefully I'm not sucking up too much of the upload space. If I am I'll find another spot to park it. I also added an entry to that wiki for emacs. I've only tried it on Windows but I don't imagine linux emacs would have any problem.

Cool :).

Maybe put a line on the site about using

(require 'd-mode)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.d\\'" . d-mode) auto-mode-alist))

in ~/.emacs to auto load it

Also I have

(setq c-default-style "bsd")

which seems to clash with the d-mode

Error:
File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument listp "bsd")
