I use D with the Vim plugin, Dutyl. The installation of 
dependences is somewhat manual but once it installed it works 
perfectly well. Compared with the Go plugin the only thing that I 
miss is auto downloading of dependences; maybe I'll try to make a 
PR tonight.

another newcomer newcomer, sounds like another Rust user 
extending the Crusade, but maybe is just me.
