How do I get started with Windows desktop programming in D? Any recommended IDEs? (I have decent experience with C/C++)

Hi Ian.

Many people who previously worked with Visual Studio like VisualD.
For others one of the best support is in Visual Studio Code with code-d extension (which is using D's LSP - serve-d).

I briefly found several useful links for your request. Feel free to check them :)

Thank you for responding. I did get started with Visual D but I'll review your other links as well.

For D, I will recommend Zed (may have to compile on windows) with the D extension. Faster, smoother especially for D. But the suggested above are more popular here.
