I need to find another opportunity to give this talk and have it recorded.

If the slides and/or video are available after the conf, please post about it here. Sure. The last TopConf conferences were published to Youtube. I have a plan for the content, but it is not final. If you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. :)

And accepted :) https://www.topconf.com/conference//duesseldorf-2017/talk/abstractions-from-c-to-d/ Abstractions: From C to D Abstraction is about hiding the irrelevant to focus on the relevant. A master in the art of abstraction will find the right balance between the over-engineered swiss army knife and the tedious boilerplate. This talk starts at common ground for many people: The C programming language. Then we explore more powerful techniques of abstraction enabled by the D programming language with its unique meta programming techniques.

Using Sqlite-D[1] as an example, and tie into the compiler implementations, which explain why I wrote a particular piece of code the way I did. That way it could still be focusing the application side of things. Please submit, I'm not deciding alone, therefore I can't give a final answer here but to me it sounds interesting :)

[0] http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/articles/functional_D.html From the fact that TopConf audience is historically quite Java / C++ driven I think both should work. For the FD talk depending on how deep you want to go (looking at the link I would expect it to work out :-)). In general both talks sound interesting, would have a hard time decide it just now!
