I made many good friends at C++Now. Some of them know Atila
from CppCon and other C++ conferences. (Beer involved. :) )
They told me Atila would routinely tell them during C++
presentations "This wouldn't be a talk at a DConf; it's a
language feature in D." :)
Beer involved. Conference. And they knew _me_? *Shocked*
:P
There were two distinct talks at CppCon2017 involving some
seriously crazy C++ metaprogramming that I said that about. Very
interesting how they made the compiler bend over backwards, very
high-level stuff. Then when everyone was leaving the room I
couldn't help but think that nobody would even mention those
techniques in D, you'd get the job done in 5min.
