I'm not doing anything threaded except for special cases like 
updating. But otherwise DCD seems to just work, I haven't had any 
problems with it.

Well, I stole your fix of using `stdout.rawWrite` instead of 
`stdout.write` to make it work on Windows :p

Nothing makes it really special for now, the major differences 
compared to serve-d is that I'm using DCD as a library, and the 
update system.
Regarding contributing to workspace-d or serve-d, I have 
something else in mind now : you work on code-d while I have 
worked on dlang-vscode, so I named my Atom package ide-dlang 
because for naming consistency the package named ide-d should be 
the one using serve-d and workspace-d. As I'm now familiar with 
Atom packages again, and if you implement auto-updating, making 
ide-d might become quite easy :)
