Well, according to the blog entry, the Rust plugin was a side 
project for an intern

While this is official support, it seems they are not really 
adding a lot more manpower behind it, it will mostly remain the 
work for this intern

They dont have plans for a standalone rust ide, like clion for c++

In other words, it really didnt cost them much to support this 
plugin

And I see very little commercial incentive for them to support D

I think a community support for the Dlang intellij plugin is our 
best hope
we can start a kickstarter project and donate money to them .. 
might work

I would donate to them if they also include a refactoring tool
