Also, like Lopatin said, DLangIDE is, at least theoretically a 
very good option. Despide being a real IDE, it is much smaller 
than Geany I meantioned, despite Geany being considered 
lightweight. And it's highlighting doesn't depend on files being 
opened fo editing. I have just started to use it, trough. Whether 
it's stable and polished enough to work well, I cannot tell yet.
