digitalmars.D.ide - VisualD on macOS ?

I've noticed that Visual Studio for macOS is available. I've no idea 
what's involved in creating a plugin for Visual Studio. But, if 
possible, how much work would it be to get VisualD to work on Visual 
Studio for Mac?

Visual Studio for Mac - in fact - is a rebranded enhanced version 
of Xamarin Studio.

Good to know, thanks. I didn't find any information about its 
extensibility, but if it is similar to Xamarin Studio, Mono-D is likely 
to be easier to adapt to VS for mac.

I just started watching this video from Build 2017 [1]. I haven't 
finished watching it yet but they mention as well that is based on 
Xamarin Studio but they have replaced many components with the 
corresponding ones from Visual Studio. They also mention that the IDE is 
architectured as a shell with all/most the functionally implemented as 
plugins/extensions.

Just had a look at VS for mac, and it's very much still MonoDevelop 
underneath: there is a folder Resources/lib/Monodevelop, and the 
extension system is the same. You can even add Alexander's repository 
and install Mono-D, but it later fails due to missing dependencies 
(needs Monodevelop components version 5.1, but VS provides 
"incompatible" versions 7.1).

Aha, I see.
