You'd obviously have more information about the proposals than I do, but there must not have been many given how few presentations came from outside the inner circle this year. Even if a proposal gets turned down, one can always submit it at another programmers' conference, or even a meetup. They're always looking for material. (I gave a talk at a meetup just last month.)

The core contributors and others kind of chipped in to save the day. We want tons of proposals. Ali Also, it's low cost to submit, so there's no reason not to do so.

I wouldn't worry about having "credentials," interesting talks from people who are not regular speakers are always welcome. -Steve

It has some additonal help with dynamically linked code. It will use "ldd", recursively, to track dependencies and automatically add those. It will also do a couple of other things, like making the filesystem read only. The musl build is practically necessary because glibc has effectively given up standalone static binary support. So, thanks BPF Korea :) Yeah, it helps. Although it still possible to statically link with glibc, although you might get some warnings. [1] https://github.com/oracle/smith -- /Jacob Carlborg

If you submit a talk proposal and it's accepted, then you are eligible after the conference to have your travel and accommodation expenses reimbursed. As long as they're reasonable (e.g. no first-class plane tickets or 5-star hotels, etc.). Alright, thank you very much for the information.

I'll look into these as soon as I have a moment. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If source data is not shared, you shouldn't cast to shared. We have the same problem in Martin's std.io library, won't build with the null uncasted. And it's not improperly casting, because syncDriver is stateless and immutable, so casting to shared mutable isn't going to cause problems (I think). https://github.com/MartinNowak/io/blob/2147802a9bca0dcf82293303f407dd3e253691e9/src/std/io/driver/package.d#L232-L250 Discussion: https://github.com/MartinNowak/io/issues/27 Currently causes pull requests for this and my iopipe library to fail to build on CI. P.S. glad to see shared getting some attention! -Steve

Are you putting libs in the compiler's directory tree? Or are you editing sc.ini/dmd.conf? You really shouldn't be doing the former.
