Mines already done, I need to get the last couple of PRs into LDC so I can do a proper announcement before submissions close to get that street cred, just to make sure my proposal is accepted.

Why not both? :) Your title could be "Speeding up compile-time" and encompass both past and future. Just a suggestion, don't know what the DConf committee would go for.

IsItThere - a small tool that generates perfect hash sets
"IsItThere ?" is a small tool that generates perfect hash sets. Its results are formatted as ready to use D code. I initially created it for Coedit highlighter. In this version it's not anymore a simple script but a full command-line tool that's able to generate D code. - Why ? When you have a small and constant set of words it's not useful to use a hash set that's build at run-time. - How ? For a small set of words, probabilities exist that there's a hash function able to produce different results for each element (i.e always 0 or 1 element per bucket). IsItThere finds this hash function, using brute force and a PRNG. To be more exact, it doesn't find the hash function but rather the coefficients that produce the same results as this hypothetical function. Using coefficients is even faster than a real hash function since they are allocated in a static array. - Links: https://code.dlang.org/packages/isitthere https://github.com/BBasile/IsItThere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function

Re: PostgreSQL native impl
There's already a bunch of Postgres drivers here [1], some are native ones, some uses the C library. ddb [2] is, I believe, the oldest native driver at code.dlang.org. That's the one I've been using. Compatible with vibe.d as well. [1] http://code.dlang.org [2] http://code.dlang.org/packages/ddb Thank for ref, never heard before
Re: PostgreSQL native impl
Shameless plug, I've been working in my spare time on a similar project: https://github.com/Burgos/postgres-native Progress is super slow, though, but I'm really happy how the things are working out, so just publishing here if somebody wants to take the inspiration from the API or any part of it, or if somebody wants to help :-) I hope in 2017 I'll build a simple web project around it, which should help alot. Nice, need to take look at

I was going to try and contact you directly, but since I've been unable to search down contact info on, I will post here. I recently wrote a review of the 2016 GSoC (from admin perspective), and wanted to post it somewhere. I thought perhaps a guest article on the blog might be appropriate - it isn't very exciting reading from a technical standpoint, but might be of general interest to the community. Anyway, if you would like me to submit it as a guest article that would to great, otherwise I will likely put it on the Wiki or on the forums.
