Notice is not part of language but of IDE settings...
Simpler syntax is desirable, I think.

More, is there any possib to fold the code in other manner: either by keeping
both { and } or by keeping none? I know DIDE is Scintilla-based so I think it is
a Scintilla matter, but it would be possible?

Ex:

void fcn1
{
//etc 1
//etc 2
}

to be folded in:

void fcn1
{
//folding mark
}

or

void fcn1 //folding mark

These will avoid human interpretation errors, even if indentation works fine.

Ah, another thing: about colors: could we have an option to color up the
pointers by one color, the classes and structs by other (or variables), type by
other one etc. I don't know if it is feasible or useful, I just launch the idea.

Yes I like this idea Ill add it to the list.

 More, is there any possib to fold the code in other

 both { and } or by keeping none?


I dont think so , not without modifications to Scintilla.

 Ah, another thing: about colors: could we have an option to color up the
 pointers by one color,


It'd require modifiucation of Scintilla ( I think , Ill double check ).  It
has some options for adding keywords of type 3 but I couldn't get it work ,
ill check.

Also in the future could you send FR's , comments to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dide/ .

Preciate it ,

Settings->Abbreviations) 

Tagging.
Ctrl+Space will try to compile the word.

Abbreviations.
If you type
for<space>
(where space is literal)
it'll write
for ( ; ; ; ) {

}

(I've reason to believe (and hope) that the above may be made easier in 
future versions). Charles has said that he's working on better tagging 
for the next version.

DIDE does not have plugins but it has been discussed a little. Any ideas 
how a DIDE plugin would look?
Also there's a DIDE egroup for suggestions 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dide/.

I am a big proponent of com/activex, its the best and most widely used plugin 
system available, and allows plugins in many languages to be written (i.e 
delphi, basic, c++) Inventing new app specific plugin architectures seems
always 
a brittle solution to me...

Since D supports COM almost as a part of the language (at least on Win32),
it'd be silly to invent another architecture.

really not sure what you mean by extending by writing modules ( Ill look

What do you think would be a good architechture ?  I'd love to hear some
suggestions / links to other good architectures / notes on implementation if
you have time.

Thanks,
