Posted - Apr 18 2014 : 12:28:45 PM In case you didn't know: The D-Language [1] is getting momentum. Facebook for example has started to adopt D [2] and open sourced some first projects (e.g. a C++Preprocessor [3])
D is the solution for people like me, who are suffering from the huge unproductivity of C++ but have to use it because of its performance.
The only reason why I can't yet switch from C++ to D is VA. VA is so insanely useful and clever, that it compensates for most of the disadvantages of C++.
D's Syntax is almost like C/C++, there are open source parsers, and a first package for Visual Studio is already available [4]. That's why I assume, that extending VA to the D-language would be possible with reasonable efforts.
It would be the incarnation of a programmers heaven!!
Posted - Apr 18 2014 : 1:57:10 PM Unfortunately we don't have any current plans to add support for any new programming languages, we are instead focussing our efforts on C++ and C#, which are both natively supported by Visual Studio.
If the D syntax is sufficiently close to C++ you could try telling VA to treat it like C++, as explained here:
