I try D almost every year, but I've never really gotten a working IDE environment with it. I'm not sure if it's issues with being on Windows or just the LSP not being that great. I really wish D was adopted as widely as Go.

Which IDE are you trying to setup with D? I've not had any issues... You may try DlangIDE possibly?

I've tried the intellij plugin and vscode extension. It never seems to work right. I remember there being lots of issues about not finding phobos/the standard library.
