D Fibers
Ali will present a shorter version of his DConf 2016 talk:
http://dconf.org/2016/talks/cehreli.html
D's fibers (coroutines in other languages) are not a part of
the language but a feature implemented by the D runtime.
This talk should be fairly accessible to new programmers even
without a CS background as it will explain the function call
stack as well as context registers, concepts necessary to
understand how fibers are useful at all.

Nice. I won't be there, but I really liked the talk about
multitasking you gave at DConf 2016. I never heard of coroutines
before it, so it pretty much blew my mind how easily you can
iterate on several trees (simultaneously) with them.
