I am not following... why is special? Because of the new 
debugging function?

A big thing that didn't seem to make it into the changelog, is that
the syntax colouring is MUCH more detailed. It is now competitive with
VisualAssist for C++.

It will be nice if you can port this code base to vs code. It is 
the same visual studio code base.

It will be nice if visual D can also be use in vs code. To me 
Visual D is great but I don't like visual studio

Pardon? VS Code is an Electron application written mainly in TypeScript, 

They're quite different codebases with quite different plugin 
architectures.

I also doubt there is much that can be easily transferred from Visual D
to VS Code. Browsing the documentation I found this, though: "VS Code
uses a tools service architecture that enables it to integrate with many
of the same technologies that power Visual Studio, including Roslyn for
.NET, TypeScript, the Visual Studio debugging engine, and more."

Being mostly interested in the claim about the debugger I took a short
look at the C++ extension: it actually uses a debug engine that looks
very similar to the one used in VS. This might allow adding the mago
Concord extension for D style expression evaluation to VS Code, too. I
haven't found a way to configure it to match the source language to the
extension, though.
