Hi,

neovim/vim8 users out there, if you'd like to have an alternative 
to deoplete, ncm2 is async and really fast, works out of the box, 
and it has integration with UltiSnippets to further expand all 
the arguments of the completion in place. So far, I've been quite 
satisfied with it, been using for 4 months+, if you're interested 
check https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2-d out.

Cheers.

Sounds great, like a Xmas message. ;-)
Have to try it out ASAP

Out of curiosity- what are advantages of ncm2 over deoplete?

Hi Anton,

I'd say:

- Completions are populated asynchronously and in parallel, and 
based on my experience, using deoplete for several months, I feel 
like the feedback of completion you get from ncm2 is more 
instantaneous.
- Fully integrates with UltiSnips, so you can have snippets 
expansions in the arguments of the completion results, which is 
really nice (you can see this in the GIF of the ncm2-d for 
example, that my cursor jumps over each argument of the 
autocompleted function).
- It just works. You don't even have to tweak the settings or 
variable of sources to start seeing good results. On the other 
hand, with deoplete you're supposed to tweak a lot of settings, 
matchers and ranks before getting solid results.
- Integrates nicely with Language servers that you can get 
results from LanguageClient-neovim, for instance.

If you've never tried it out before, it's definitely worth a try.

looks nice but the behavior is a bit strange, as it suggest also 
functions which are not imported. E.g.

import std.stdio: writeln;

completion for "wri" also brings up "writef" and all other 
functions from std.stdio starting with wri ...

sorry - I was wrong! It works as expected :-) - very nice! It 
probably conflicted with deoplete (or something else) which may 
still have been in the cache ...

Now, I am wondering how I can trigger "completion" for the 
signature which doesn't pop up

got it :-) The caveat is that also using ncm2-ultisnips

     inoremap <silent> <expr> <CR> 
ncm2_ultisnips#expand_or("\<CR>", 'n')

needs to be set after

     inoremap <expr> <CR> (pumvisible() ? "\<c-y>\<cr>" : "\<CR>")

I'm glad you sorted it out, David. If you need further help just 
file an issue.

Geez, just when I (finally) add D color syntax highlighting to microEmacs, you
