Walter said that fibers must be movable between threads, it was part of the AMA I think (day 1 final talk). I will note to those reading this thread, the absolute most phenomenal part of attending the d conference is the live discussion that happens between talks, and afterwards over drinks/dinner. The live streams and recorded talks are no substitute. Just a nudge for anyone who is on the fence for next year :) I hope I can go next year, need to get that passport in order... -Steve

I can second that, and I'd like to add a personal note of thanks for the great advice that you offered me after my talk. I'm starting to come around to some of the ideas I wasn't so sure of at the time ... :-)

It turns all changes into breaking changes. It is something you only can add to a stable language without collateral damage.
Re: This Week in D: DConf 2015 Wednesday Morning writeups!
PS you might notice that my write up on Walter's talk was shorter than the other two... I didn't realize how long the walk into UVU was and I missed about the first 3/4 of it! If any of you would like to add more, let me know and I can ninja edit it in, or we can reddit comment or something.
