Hello all,
I'm new to D and looking to set a development environment for it 
that suits my taste.
I already used VScode when learning Go, but I'm not a big fan of 
it. so for D I'm trying to use Atom and with ide-dlang it could 
be fine for me.
I don't mean bad, it's good work and I have to say thank you for 
that, but the documentation available is not really complete or 
beginner friendly.

it's working, I can build my first example, but I don't 
understand how to go further. actually I can build, but how to 
build & run or at least be able to run after having build.
should I create new settings in the "build" package or install 
another package in witch I could set commands to run in a 
terminal (like I did in VScode).

the ide-dlang package's webpage just mentions at the bottom of 
the page that atom-ide-ui and build packages should also be 
installed, but doesn't say what need or could be done with them 
and there's not much info on how to use the whole system.

I searched online, but can't find any page about Dlang with Atom 
& ide-dlang..

is there someone else here using it who can at least tell me how 
he/she is using it and if I should use some more packages..?
thanks.
ffred
