It should be possible, because I'm using it.

The installed extensions in vscode includes: code-d, serve-d

Then `.vscode/launch.json` is like:

```
     "configurations": [
         {
             "type": "code-d",
             "request": "launch",
             "dubBuild": true,
             "name": "Build & Debug DUB project",
             "cwd": "${command:dubWorkingDirectory}",
             "program": "${command:dubTarget}"
         },
     ]
```
