I have a friend, he has heard of D (from me) a fair bit over
the years but never had reason to look into it. He works at a
company which has a culture of showing tech videos during

have, which will fit in a lunch hour.. anyone?

Walter's talk on component programming is one of the best, I
think, for showing how the language features can come together in
a nice way. That's a pretty good motivator for getting someone
into the language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cX1f41Fnkc
In my attempts to describe D to colleagues and friends, I have
made an observation. I think there's not a single killer feature
of D that makes it great, but it's rather like how a lot of very
small and interesting features come together. Slices and every
detail about how they work I think is a nice selling point.
