I'm personally kind of anarchic, because I use hardly any tools. Text editor and terminal, that's how I program. The compiler is my linter. So I don't know.

Used the wrong word. Meant "archaic", not "anarchic".

Side note, D has source code tools, this being probably the most famous one: https://github.com/dlang-community/D-Scanner . It's just that I don't use them myself.

The rules are enforced by the compiler not a linter.

Linting in a way that requires semantic analysis is not well trodden ground in D tooling.

deadalnix and myself are aiming to rectify this somewhat by ramping up work on sdc, which is basically a D frontend done right.

The idea with D is to not require a linter!
