serve-d is code-d's language server implementation, in theory for 
basic functionality it should be a drop-in replacement after 
changing the startup process arguments. For more advanced 
features (like dub dependency management, downloading of tools 
and other non-standard functionality) serve-d has some 
proprietary protocol commands, which are documented in the README
