I have discovered D for almost two years now. My general option 
is that D is an excellent language. It is a language design for a 
programmer that focus on reality and provide the programmer with 
a wealth of tools the programmer need to succeed within a short 
time.

I am really in love with D but I discovered the wealth of D is 
known by only a few. I am gone through almost all D books e.g 
learning D, programming in D, the D programming language, 
template tutorial, the D cookbook etc. These books just scratch 
the surface of the wealth of D.

The problem is that only programmer with a strong background in 

the average programmer, who is not vast in programming, he 
considers D beautiful tools to play with but not use in real 
production.

I will be happy if the D community can come out with a plan to 
write an extensive tutorial on all aspect of D covering all 
modules in the standard library and valuable third-party 
libraries such as GTKD, dlangui, vibe-D etc. Contribution can be 
made for people who are willing to undertake such a task. The 
tutorial should also cover D tools in details and their uses in 
different Os
The result is that newcomers can easily grap the concepts of D 
and use it in production which in turn we increase the adoption 
of D giving that we have a vibrate community already

I have checked all resources covering D. But I am not satisfied.

The community will have to put energy together to make a pro D 
plugin for IntelliJ, eclipse at least. I Know such plugin exist 
but they are not really working well. Today on window only 
serve-d and code-d and visual-D are reliable

I wrote from a heart with deep concern of D. please be 
constructive in your reply and suggestion

This is what it comes down to. The 'community'. Most people work 
on D for free, and like with everything in life, you get what you 
pay for. It is unreasonable to expect a language mostly built by 
volunteers and donations has the same support and help resources 
as big, established platforms supported by big international 
corporations.

Sounds like duplication of effort. Most effort should probably go 
to projects like language servers, because the results can be 
easily reused for other platforms. Also, define "pro D plugin". D 
language design mostly disallows the kind of IDE support like 

variable doesn't exist until compile time, or it's name is 
stitched together with mixins).
