neat, I am also planning on including dcd inside my language 
server, did everything just work or did you have issues with 
threading and messaging etc and what were your experiences on it?

I see that you have an auto updater, I might as well steal that 
functionality for me :p

Can you list what else makes your language server special? Have 
you maybe also considered contributing on workspace-d/serve-d? ;)
