Description:

This talk assumes you're bored with the usual macguffins - expressions, statements, and core strings vs library strings. We'll skip right to the naughty bits - lambdas, mixins, tuples, scope guards, lazy arguments, and static if's. What are they, and what they are good for, will be explored.

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.
