I highly disagree with this.
I love conferences and meetups.
It's good socially and a conference is not 100% just about the
topic it hosts.
I think you didn't read what I wrote, as nowhere did I say not to
gather people in conferences or meetups, but that the traditional
conference _format_, as exemplified by previous DConfs, is a
waste of time.
Ex. for D conf there is much more than just D. There is also
the minor escape from reality to new surroundings, like a mini
vacation etc.
Thank you for making clear that the real reason you and some
others like the current format is because you want to have a fun
"vacation"- as I pointed out in that earlier thread- rather than
anything to do with D or advancing the ecosystem.
