Walter,
I see that you will be discussing "High Performance Code Using D"
at the 2014 DConf. This will be a very welcomed topic for many of
us. I am a Finance Professor. I currently teach and do research
in computational finance. Might I suggest that you include some
finance (say Monte Carlo options pricing) examples? If you can
get the finance industry interested in D you might see a massive
adoption of the language. Many are desperate for an alternative
to C++ in that space.
Just a thought.
Best,
TJB
