  • I don't know why but dlang continues to draw me - I've really enjoyed many of the talks in the past

  • Cool that the low-level configuration system and settings management tool of GNOME 3 gets its own conference!

  • I came in here wondering why a config database is in London. It's quite unfortunate to name your conference after a much more popular, or at least widely used software (try searching dconf in a non personalized search engine)

  • We really have a problem naming things... this is the d language conference, not the gnome dbus configuration system...

  • Even if you don't use D, I highly recommend watching some of the talks since I find them interesting and dense in information.

  • What’s the status of the OpenD fork?[0] I see Adam is still active there but I’m not sure if it’s had any impact beyond losing him as an upstream contributor.

  • First day seems very LLM heavy, and sounds quite odd for Phobos 3. I would like to see Phobos 3 be more betterC forward, since I have found D to be nicer than C for WASM, but you can't use most nice things. Having a default RAII vector class for betterC and a hashmap would be super nice too.

    Edit: Also would be nice to adopt move and copy semantics even closer to C++ and maybe need less explicit moves, and ideally less mess with calling __xdtor when trying to do RAII

  • I haven't announced my keynote yet, but it's about various ways of handling errors and their tradeoffs. This has inspired some spirited debate in the D forums! I'm looking forward to engaging with everyone.
