I sliced videos with DConf 2015 2 June, but the uploading lasted 
as you can see a very long time :)

Hmm, there may be a little disconnect here. Organizing 
conferences costs money, which currently comes from Walter and 
my pocket. Whilst I understand how it's awfully exciting to 
enjoy quality content from the comfort of one's device, we need 
more attendees before more conferences to make the checkbooks 
balance. Besides, there is no substitute for being there, as 
I'm sure all of this year's DConf participants may attest.


Of course, having DConf twice a year need to not start this year, 
but definitely in the near future. Perhaps starting with 2016 or 
2017.
Or you can alternate DConf. For example, in 2016 to spend DConf 
once, and in 2017 — two times! In 2018 once, and in 2019 — 
twice...


I believe that we need to start global popularization D, to take 
away the throne from the reign of C++ :) Possibly two DConf this 
greatly help.


As for sponsorship DConfs, I think you need to try to enlist the 
support of some great companies, such as Google. Of course, 
Digital Mars and The Faсebook done much for the development and 
promotion of D, but D needs the support of a strong company to 
accelerate the capture of the industrial market. Ie need to 
attract a strong company on the side D. I have no idea how this 
is possible :) But I think it's a good idea!


Sorry if I wrote something wrong. This is just my thoughts.

We're pleased to announce that DConf 2016 will take place in

We'll be back with details. See you there!

Thank you very much for DConf 2015!

Special thanks to John Colvin for the livestream! It was really 
great and grandiose! I hope that next year someone will give a 
video camera to livestream with higher resolution to enjoy DConf 
2016 fully.

Inspired by ponce idioms list for D I've set up something 
similar.
There are some themes in D which come up regulary and are 
discussed to the vomit. If something is agreed, it gets 
forgotten sometimes and the theme disappears into oblivion (for 
a few months :P). To prevent this, I've collected some 
hot-discussed themes, their history and their current state. I 
hope this helps to avoid unnecessary discussions in the future 
and finally cut off these issues (either with an official 
decision "Nope, keep as it is" or with an implementation).


I've tried to stay as objective as possible, but if something 
seems to be too subjective, please let me know, so I can fix it.

Thanks. Many programmers find fault with this problem:

"No problem. But if you have more elements it could be annoying 
to count them. That's why some D users wanted that the compiler 
does that for them.


int[$] c = [1, 2, 3]; // the compiler detects the dollar and 
count the elements for us"
