I was maintaining a D Language Server up until some 4-5 years 
ago, and one of the last things I had tried out before abandoning 
it was using DMD as a library. It seemed promising at first, but 
it felt like DMD had definitely not been thought for use as a 
library back then. Maybe there has been an effort to make it so 
in the last couple years?

The state of editor support in D has always been a bit 
depressing; but it's nice to see some people still trying to 
improve it!
