Sorry, seems it cut out the first half of that reply.

New posts are out, and I don't want to spam Announce with new 
threads, so I'm just replying to this one.

"This often seems to confuse people at first, especially those 
coming from other languages"


I think what's confusing people is that enum (short for 
ENUMERATION) is suddenly used like a constant/alias.

If you have ideas for an interesting talk, submit a proposal, and
perhaps you may have your costs covered?
It's great to see people coming from such different parts of the world!

Okay but keep in mind that the earlier I buy the airplane ticket 
the cheaper it gets so please don't take too long to finish that.

I've also made some changes to post #1 based on my last two 
comments on this thread.


I'd also like to clarify that the main purpose of this series is 
to demonstrate some of the thing of what D's metaprogramming can 
do, via the creation of the serialiser. The serialiser is just a 
by-product, so don't have the expectation that it's going to be 
amazingly robust. Though, maybe this is the wrong way to go about 
thing...


If anything, I just hope to not spread mis-information, or overly 
bad practices.

Hey! That’s awesome! The conferences are usually around May. And 
the announcements and finalization don’t really have a specific 
date but usually around Jan/feb ish (just did a quick search for 
the different years).
