Fallback language servers? (coc.nvim)
I am playing with some languages that have alternative language server support but to not seem to be supported by the builtin lsp (see odin language w/ this server: https://github.com/DanielGavin/ols).

Odin is taking documentation seriously—Brand New Documentation for the Official Library Collections
There is syntax highlighting for Odin in pretty much every text editor at the moment, and coupled with the Odin Language Server (OLS) that has been worked by the community, Odin already has a lot of tooling that you can get started with straightaway!

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
