If you haven't attempted to use it, you probably should.

Best of luck.

 Great!

D's LSP has greatly improved over the years, a competitive 
advantage many language doesn't have!

One area it could improve is template support, i did my best to 
contribute, but it's quite challenging to do right

https://github.com/dlang-community/DCD/pull/714 (WIP)

If in the future dmd could provide a builtin language server, 
that would be even more great!


clang has clangd and it powers lot of editors

I just realized that ``-vcg-ast`` already exist for DMD, wich can 
already solve the templates problem!

Question: is it possible for that output to go to stdout rather 
than create a file next to the module? ``mumodule.d.gc`` so it 
could be integrated in serve-d, i wrote down an idea here: 
https://github.com/Pure-D/serve-d/issues/323


Another question, why ``-vcg-ast`` isn't documented in the ``dmd 
--help`` menu, not even on the wiki 
https://dlang.org/dmd-linux.html?

-vcg-ast was a debug utility I wrote for internal compiler 
development usage.
It was never meant to be a user visible feature as we cannot 
guarantee the format and content of the output.
