I would remove support D for visual studio and focus on 
cross-platform editors like vscode, atom, because Visual Studio 
and MSVC are no longer in demand these days. For C++ today, the 
best choice is the gcc compiler vscode editor on Linux OS. But 
C++ itself is also outdated language and today Go is in the lead 
thanks to its built-in package manager and network focus, which 
C++ does not have. The D language is keeping up with Go. I think 
the D language has a great future if the community pays more 
attention to network development, coroutines, chans and etc, of 
course makes all of these things by default in the standard 
library like Go does.
