If nothing else please watch the opening story, it's true and
quite funny :o).
Now as to the talk, as you could imagine, it touches on
another language as well...

A lot of the questions were about documenting the hook API and
catching misspelling errors when defining a hook.
It seems like it would be nice if you could list the hook
method names a static array or dictionary or struct containing
a field for each method, etc. One each for the required and
optional methods.
The hook author could grab the name/signature of the method
they're intending to implement from that data structure and any
misspellings would be caught immediately.
Is it possible to declare a function whose name is a CTFE
computed string?
For ranges there are concepts like Input Range. A struct/class
must have several methods to be compliant. You can check the
compliance using function isInputRange
https://dlang.org/library/std/range/primitives/is_input_range.html
Maybe something similiar can be done here. Not checking
individual methods, but concepts...
Kind regards
Andre
