I do not have an immediate answer, but…

CLion requires CMake, with CMake-D in a fit state we could use CLion
with D – albeit very rough and ready way, at least initially. I am sure
the DLanguage IDEA plugin can be made to work with CLion. If this
combination can be made to work at all, then it can be improved over
time.

Personally I am now at the stage that without an IDE I don't start a
project using that language. The important IDEs are JetBrains family
and Eclipse. Anything else is niche or an also ran. At least currently.

I am about to not use D for a new project because C++, Rust and Go have
good IDEs. And I am an Emacs person. I guess I will have to join Emacs
Anonymous as I do not use it any more except for LaTeX and AsciiDoc
files. OK I use the Emacs bindings in the IDEs obviously.

Unless the combination I proposed actually works. I will give it a go.
