Someone built a plug-in for Gnome builder last yr based on the d language server...back when it was still maintained.

https://github.com/d-language-server/gnome-builder-dlang

Gnome builder is to Linux what Visual Studio is to Windows.

The plug-in system is very well documented too.

https://builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/creating.html


So two things to figure out now:
1) does d language server still work? Its stated in on the repo that its no longer maintained and that we should use code-d by WebFreak

2) figuring out and adapting it for code-d. Not sure how different code-d is from that d language server (DLS)

serve-d is code-d's language server implementation, in theory for basic functionality it should be a drop-in replacement after changing the startup process arguments. For more advanced features (like dub dependency management, downloading of tools and other non-standard functionality) serve-d has some proprietary protocol commands, which are documented in the README

Ok thanks. Will fork it and see what I can do
