Please keep it.
I am conviced that "text only" is not enough for next generation code
editors. a few examples :
a database application could embedd an Entity Relationship model. This
could be a simple static graphic, or even an interactive live model
which generates D code. (using java applets, ActiveX, ...)
D has strong OOP features, why not having an interactive UML modeler
within the code.
D has builtin profiler support, why not embedding a charts, coloring
time critical sections.
extented Documentation support
I am convinced that, once the first HTML base D code-editor is released,
several new, fantastic ideas will be born.
I guess java applets can be used as code generators, code watcher
(safeD, without using the compiler) ....
I thinking about : "how a next generation code editor should look like"
for quit a while and hope to implement an HTML based (or hypertext based
in general) Editor for D for use in my IDE.
