D and CLion

[Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d]

Kingsley is developing a D plugin for IntelliJ IDEA – which is a Good
Thing™.

However, as I have said before, I think CLion (a C++ IDE, where
IntelliJ IDEA is really a JVM languages IDE) would be a far better
place for D to be supported.

Given CLion is CMake based, CMake-D is important to getting things
moving initially. We can worry about Dub support and dependency
management along the way.

I have created an issue with the JetBrains tracker for this enhancement
request.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-5648

IntelliJ IDEA already supports Gradle as a project driver so the idea
of CLion allowing Dub to be a project driver is not outwith the bounds
of possibility.

It would be nice if we could develop plugins in Kotlin rather than
Java!
