Hello all,

As we all know there are several IDE's with more or less support for the D programming language.
Nethertheless none of them satisfy my needs or are still very buggy. (Or has still nothing committed like 'Code Poet' :) )
So I looked for an IDE where D support can easely be implemented.

- codeblocks has basic support for D
- offical release of codeblocks is 8.02 (Feb-2008) really a little outdated, but new realease is on the come -> around April-2010)
- newer version are available through nightly build on
  http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,20.0.html
- code is in C++ with wxWidget and kept simple (compared to other IDE's like codelite,...)
- so I started to imporve the support for D in codeblocks, see ->
  http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12246.0.html

Any suggestion, help or whishes are always welcome!!

Smart auto completion is always desirable.

as I have seen in my first tests, autocompletion ist already working.
But fine-tuning is assumedly needed :)

Have you taken a look at Qt Creator? It uses a declarative language and framework (Qt Quick and QML [Qt Meta-Object Language]) for building highly dynamic, custom user interfaces (see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qdeclarativeintroduction.html). QML being easily parsable, you may want to consider Qt as a target IDE for D? Using Qt Creator for designing GUI and and D for the code-behind sounds very interesting. The Qt 4.7 & Qt Creator 2.0 Technology Previews promises really neat stuff (http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-qtcreator-prerelease#download).

Did you mean to make a fork of QtCreator for a D only IDE,
or write a plugin?

But sure, the Idea with QML as a declarative langueage for a GUI desinger sounds good.
But is a GUI designer really needed out there?
I use Visual Studio 2008 at work, and I make everything in the code.
I never start the GUI desinger, cause I don't want to give away the control over the code.
