I've just discovered the new programming language D

Yeah, I've read a little about that. On paper it seems to be what C++
should have been, more along the lines of what Obj-C and C# is doing.
There is a handy comparison chart about somewhere, which shows the
differences between the various popular languages.
It would be nice if I could use it in Xcode. There is a gcc-based
compiler available for Mac OS X. To what extent is it possible to
integrate this in Xcode?
You mean there is a gcc-based compiler for D? If you can integrate it
into the system cc system, you won't have to do much work at all.
Otherwise, you could try defining a new "rule" for your target that
maps d to a script which calls your compiler.
I guess syntax highlighting is no problem, and getting xcode to call
the compiler may also work OK. But is it possible to get errors and
warnings in xcode just as for the other gcc languages?
And could I get debugging to work?
Don't know. Have you tried it? I'm interested in your results. I guess
if it closely follows the gcc syntax, you might be okay.
Is it possible to incorporate a dependency analysis other than the
default #include one?
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean there.
So have you experimented with any of this? Any luck?
