And you probably need to check if error==nil instead of error!=nil... Sorry, if I say nonsense, I don't know Go.

Andrei Alexandrescu: Slides are online: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Lang-NEXT/Lang-NEXT-2012/Three-Unlikely-Successful-Features-of-D Putting the slides online before the talk is a very good idea, thank you. Page 31: the title of this slide is D array = pointer + length, but the image shows two pointers inside the array struct/fat pointer. Walter has said several times his desire to replace the pointer + length with two pointers. Are those desires going to produce a change? And even if this is a bit OT: why aren't D array fat references composed by 3 fields: pointer + length + capacity? I think Go slices are like this. Page 34, Convenient: I don't know how well DMD will optimize this code, but it's one of the simplest to read array-twiddling palindrome functions I've seen. But probably I write: !a.empty Instead of: a.length Page 36, Palindrome generalized: unfortunately D doesn't map syntaxes like a[1..$-1] to range functions :-) Page 51: An horizontal line needs to be at 1.0 too. But I prefer a graph that shows run-time seconds. Very nice slides pack. Bye, bearophile

I mention during the talk that the concept is the same regardless of that representation detail. Andrei

Re: I'll be in Seattle at Lang.NEXT
David Nadlinger: Now if only all these tech conferences didn't happen to be held in the US and/or overseas flights from Europe were cheaper (same for the D conference :()… Being present at conferences gives you some not evident advantages, like talking with people when there are no conferences, asking questions to expert people during the conferences, letting people know you and your ideas in little unscheduled lighting talks, in small scheduled 3-minute talks, or in normal sized talks, and so on. Good conferences give you new ideas, help you meet people interested in your ideas, help you meet your heroes or people that think of you as their hero, etc. On the other hand the amount of CO2 released in very long air travels for such purposes is not always environmentally justifiable, the ecological footprint of some conferences is ridiculous. And if you take a look at certain conferences (like the Google one) they ask for excessive amount of money and silly requirements. Bye, bearophile
