On the note of inlining C++ into D. I guess this is the domain where we will have to rely on LTO taking you there. Not an advertisable feature though. Catching foreign language exceptions. It's supported but we only act as a messenger. Intercept the thrown exception and pass it on, with the expectation that higher up the backtrace is the C++ or whatever language catch handler to deal with it. I don't see catching or throwing C++ exceptions from D ever happening. At least, you need more help than just mangling and layout.

This release is based on the 2.067.1 frontend and standard library and supports LLVM 3.1-3.7 (OS X: no support for 3.3). Don't miss to check if your preferred system is supported by this release. We also have a Win64 compiler available! As usual, you can find links to the changelog and the binary packages over at digitalmars.D.ldc: http://forum.dlang.org/post/uqibfhjpugaxnbsbf...@forum.dlang.org Regards, Kai Fantastic! Since ldc2 is part of the Fedora repositories, do you happen to know who is responsible for pushing the update in? I think Jonathan Mercier (bioinfornat...@fedoraproject.org) maintains the Fedora package. Regards, Kai

Looks interesting but I fail to see "DConf". The text should read "DConf 2016/May 4-6/Berlin, Germany" -- Andrei That would give something like: https://github.com/p0nce/dconf.org/blob/master/2016/images/logo-sample.png The logo looks nice, but it doesn't seem to be evocative of D. I think there needs to be a theme to it, like "D saves the world", "D is cool tech", "D makes money for business", "D is the choice of cutting edge programmers", "D is the latest technology", etc. Something like that. Made a 2nd attempt here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/p0nce/dconf.org/4f0f2b5be8ec2b06e3feb01d6472ec13a7be4e7c/2016/images/logo2-sample.png

Andrei Great interview! It's a shame though that you didn't point people to your "Generic Programming Must Go" talk when you were talking about std.allocator and design by introspection.
Re: Sociomantic Labs is looking for Software Developers! (D language)

Here's what we're looking for in a potential candidate: - Experience in C, C++, or D. (You'll be programming in D) - Knowledge of Github or a similar collaborating environment - Interest in distributed architectures - Fluency in written and spoken English Here's what we have to offer: Full-time employment in our Berlin office with a competitive compensation and incentive plan, as well as flexible work hours. We offer basic German language courses for free (they're not mandatory), while all communication in the office is done in English. You'll get to work in a very friendly environment, with fun people, and you'll get many fun challenges to work on. We also offer help with residence permit processing for non-EU citizens. Find out even more at our website: https://www.sociomantic.com/jobs/d-software-developer Interested? Send us your CV and résumé to care...@sociomantic.com. Our friendly HR department will help you guide you through our entire hiring process. Good luck! :) I think you need an Italian translator too. :) Your ad on facebook sounds bad in italian where "display" is translated as a female word but all big italian dictionaries report it as male. You write "La programmatic display" but it should be "Il programmatic display". ("Programmatic" should be translated IMO: in italian "programmatico" exists and it means "programmatic" so: "Il display programmatico" sounds a lot better) Andrea

Many thanks!! -- Andrei I gave it a shot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/188292/g4421.png /Jonas Many thanks to both you and ponce! This is great work. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we won't likely be able to accept either of these proposals. The good news is Sociomantic wants to get behind the DConf logo design, more generally behind the dconf.org site design, and even more generally get more involved in helping the Foundation and the language. It will take their design team a bit longer to get things done, but they want to do it right. There's been considerable back and forth between Sociomantic and ourselves before choosing this path. One concern was that corporate intervention risks to stifle individual contributions such as Jonas' and ponce's. We concluded that we've been roughing it long enough so a bit of structured help is welcome. I am very sorry your work will not be used for the conference site. My hope is this decision will help the greater good. Thanks, Andrei
