Is it a YouTube live stream or something that will be linked later, it'd be nice to mention it already, and in the meantime link to the channel, or the like. Normally conferences have an option to register your email to get reminders, about the next occurrence as well as next years', keep posted, etc. Anyway I'll write it in my agenda and will see you, thank you!

People are suddenly more curious when they hear there are actual jobs. :)

If you want to employ your D expertise and be part of the autonomous driving revolution, apply under: https://jobs.lever.co/aid-driving/c4b243bd-c106-47ae-9aec-e34d5bbe0ce1?lever-via=vcPRnEaCR3 Thank you very much for sharing. You work at AID? As Laeeth says, could you let us know whether it would be ok to add a mention to AID to the Dlang website? https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html

Re: D as a Better C
On Wednesday, 23 August 2017 at 13:12:04 UTC, Mike Parker wrote: To coincide with the improvements to -betterC in the upcoming DMD 2.076, Walter has published a new article on the D blog about what it is and why to use it. I like this concept of "upward compatibility," -- although opposed to backward it should be phrased "forward." Will share also this one on LinkedIn... I see D has official account on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit... No interest in LinkedIn? I think it can also be a good promotion platform for D.
Re: "Competitive Advantage with D" is one of the keynotes at C++Now 2017

Luckily, I asked Manu and among a long list of ideas he said "it's about saving time" and "time is money". How can you argue with that? ;) I do agree, but C++ people may be less open to buy the whole package at once... The other speakers (Rust, Haskell) will talk about specific things that they regard as nicer in their languages compared to C++ (safe memory access, concurrency in Rust; side effect safety in Haskell). C++ users can more easily agree to these individual points and later become interested in the other languages. It's true that D's paradigm is less different from C++ and it's more about being better designed and safer as a whole. It's like, sure you can write 80% of D programs in C++ with only twice the typing at most, as long as your compiler supports C++14 at least, and you're super careful with memory... but you'll still be driven insane by the remaining 20% ;)
Re: Dont Fear the Reaper -- A gentle introduction to D's GC

This one is a basic introduction. Great post, and the title is gold. Looking forward to the next installments so I learn new things myself, and of course a good reference in this "GC is bad" debate.
