Thanks to the sponsorship of Symmetry Investments, the D
Language Foundation is happy to announce the Symmetry Autumn of
Code!
We're looking for three university students to hack on D this
autumn, from September - January. We're also in search of
potential mentors and ideas for student projects. Head to the
Symmetry Autumn of Code page for the details.
Spread the word!

I'd suggest adding the following to SAOC 2018 project proposals :
1/ adding a Go-like http module to the standard library
2/ adding Go-like async IO management to the standard library,
i.e. fibers communicating through blocking channels
3/ possibility to use automatic reference counting (with weak
references) instead of garbage collection for automatic unused
memory deallocation
4/ adding automatic cycle detection and collection to the
automatic reference counting system

Thanks :)
