Twice!
:P
And I definitely feel more intimidated now thinking about it
(and watching
the replay) than last time ;)
No way, you're two talks and all the others last year were great!
IMO they were easily on par with the C++ Going Native, C++
Beyond talks I've seen. Many of those are given by devs who
present *a lot*.
I'd be really interested to hear a talk on optimising D code,
especially one which dives down in the ASM. You'd be able to do
that no worries...although I understand presenting is a lot of
work. Or real-time gfx for games and how you'd approach it in D.
I'd also really like to hear a bit more about the compiler
design, both back and front end but mainly back end. Going native
last year had some really interesting talks by the VC compiler
devs on the VC++ compiler back end and some of the optimisation
tricks.
It's been said before but every day stuff for you guys isn't for
others. I work in embedded code all day so hearing about code
optimisation techniques, idiomatic D code and D compiler and
language design is fantastic.
I cannot wait for DConf 2014 videos...I'd love to present, but
too new to D. Maybe in a year or two :D
