Description:

Is it possible to have the power and efficiency of C++, but in a much easier to use form? Walter will contrast C++ and D and show how, with D, one can achieve the same or better results with much less complexity and with greater reliability, without sacrificing performance.

About the Speaker:

Walter Bright's first major program was the groundbreaking wargame Empire. He then became interested in compilers and computer languages. He's written compilers for ABEL, Pascal, C, C++, Java, Javascript and now D. His extensive experience writing C++ compilers and well over a decade being on the front lines of doing C++ customer support is an ideal background for improving on the language.
