DCD is the project that empower them all

Improvements to DCD = improvements to both serve-d, dlangide and 
dexed

But it's a waste of effort if DMD as library project becomes 
usable for a language server

So who ever is working on DMD as library should get the funding 
to speed it up

Funding for fixing serve-d crashing is useless if it still can't 
work with D's features (mixin/template)

Funding should to towards having these features that is missing

- good mixin support
- good template support
- good debugger support

Anything else is just distraction

I tried but it didn't got any steam,and github fucked up by 
deleting the branch, i still have it locally, so whoever wants to 
pursue this work, let me know
