But unless people submit proposals showing how D beats Java in direct competition, the JVM focused people will never know. Take DevoxxUK and JAXLondon the two primary JVM-related conferences in London. No mention of Go or Rust, let alone D. Single language conferences are tools for retaining people within the language, ditto programs such as Java Champions. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
