I don't know if they work with betterC though. [1] https://github.com/atilaneves/tardy [2] https://github.com/jll63/openmethods.d it seems that tardy is more close to this topic. and open-methods is dispatching system for 'Normal D'. and both of them uses keyword `interface`, and "Interfaces describe a list of functions that a class that inherits from the interface must implement". shows these may not work with betterC. thanks! binghoo dang

I am not sure if I will be able to solve this as I do not want to make changes that would be incompatible with D.
DConf Online 2020 #BeerConf
Hi all, DConf Online is still DConf, so there still must be a BeerConf. And since it's online, we can run it all weekend! The virtual BeerConf space will be open from the evening (UTC) of Friday, November 20 and will be continuously open all weekend to anyone who wants to join. Despite the name, no alcohol is required to participate. As long as you have a connected device, a web browser, a microphone, and an optional webcam, you're invited to come on in and participate in this annual DConf tradition. The time that we are looking to kick things off is at 18:00 UTC on Friday 20th. Another announcement will be made on the day with details for joining the online meeting. Stay safe, and see you all there!
