I wasn't thinking about challenging complexity but it gives
me ideas.
I am looking for concrete topics like templates, classes,
ranges, rvalues, etc. Are those interesting?
I suggest: patterns for @nogc allocation and where D is going
with move semantics and reference counting.
Basically, where is D heading with @nogc?
Take each pattern from c++ and Rust and show the D counter
part, with an objective analysis that covers pitfalls and
areas that need more work.
I feel that it'd be best if any video discussion/talk about
move semantics happens _after_ [DIP
1040](https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/72f41cffe68ff1f2d4c033b5728ef37e282461dd/DIPs/DIP1040.md#initialization) is merged/rejected, so that the video doesn't become irrelevan after only a few years.
I think the purpose of conferences is to assess the current state
and be forward looking. After 14 months I would expect Walter to
know if it is going to be put to rest or not, so just email him I
guess?
