Of course nothing of that sort but you have to tolerate emcee Dylan's purple outfit, especially the shoes! :o)
There's a purple beast in Dylan, just dying to get out...
Good advice... Can't wait for your presentation... ;)
Sadly, if I gave a talk, after the first 5 minutes, there'd be nobody left to listen ;-)
I would like to see Chuck Allison talk about the experiences of students approaching D. I think that would be really worthwhile - or even yourself for that matter, given your strong interest in this area. Technical stuff is good and helpful, but I like to know about peoples experiences too...that's what really interests me the most, and should be at the core of any language design. So somebody examining D from this perspective could be really insightful to those contributing to the language.
It's really critical that D remain accessible to newcomers, or its' replacement is just around the corner.
