I'm pretty sure, if you implement just precise heap scan (and lock removal), it will be already huge win. I agree, but a precise heap scan should be the easiest part of this project. Rainer Schuetze has already implemented this and presented it at a dconf a few years ago(2013?). My plan is to use that since I know it works, and that frees up my time to focus on pretty much everything else.

I am reading a paper on how one could use extra information about what was last assigned to a union in order to scan them precisely. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but it looks like it could be done. Not sure if it is something I can get to in the course of my project though. Scanning only unions conservatively is still pretty good.

I could be wrong though! If anyone else feels like they want to host a stream somewhere, please let me know! Lastly, if you want direct access to me or any other organizers during the event, best case is to Tweet directly to @DLangConf as that is more aggressively notifying us than the forums.

Aha, I've forgotten one fun tidbit! Dicebot has had the amazing idea of providing a hashtag for "live questions" from the remote audience. So if you're watching and want to say or ask something, simply Tweet and include the hashtag #askDConf. Dicebot will pick up the Q's and pass them onto the appropriate party in the event itself. Should be quite a fun way to interact with the live stream! :)

I'd love to mirror it on livecoding.tv. Of course the main concern with this is a round trip to europe from New Zealand would not be very good for viewers, even if I'm on a fiber connection. Wouldn't be too hard I suppose to write an irc bot to mirror chat there on to FreeNode #D or even automate tweets. Especially with my irc to XMPP bridge (free for use).

I'm not sure, but one would thing that @safe code wouldn't need any extra information about the union. I wouldn't know how to differentiate between them though during runtime. Probably someone with more experience with the compiler would know more about that kind of thing.
