Thanks to Symmetry Investments, DConf is heading to London! We're still ironing out the details, but I've been sitting on this for weeks and, now that we have a venue, I just can't keep quiet about it any longer.
Looking forward to it! The caliber of people at these conferences has been exceptional every year I've gone, and many of the ideas presented have been very valuable, whether they were directly related to DLang or not.
Just one small example was a 2017 talk by Bastiaan Veelo on D libraries implementing Parsing Expression Grammars, which I had never heard of at the time. But the idea ended up being very useful for greatly simplifying the interfaces of systems I was working on that year.
I've been doing quite a bit of work this year on the Google S2 Geometric Library in D. If I can benchmark the library against the C++ version or show how it can be used to tackle some of the trickier real-time problems in large-scale web services, would it be a good candidate to try to make into a talk for the conference?
