I'll be talking more about D (and modern C++) at the ACCU 2024 conference in
Bristol (Abstract below -- talk is on April 19, 2024).
Let me know if you'll be joining (in-person or online)! The recording of the
talk will otherwise be posted after the talk, and slides will immediately be
available on my website after the talk is given.

ABSTRACT: The D programming language (DLang) is a multi-paradigm language (like
C++) developed to solve real software engineering problems. DLang has a rich
history since its inception in 2001, and continues to be an actively evolving
memory-safe language used in industry. In this talk, I will discuss how learning
and using the D language has directly benefited my use and learning of C++ and
vice versa. We'll look at the evolution of both C++ and Dlang, and see how each
language has borrowed from each other during their most recent evolution in the
past decade. Throughout the talk, I will provide side-by-side code comparisons
showing idiomatic ways to complete tasks in D alongside C++ code examples. The
goal of this talk however is not to pit one language against the other, but
rather to show how to use each language to its strengths and learn how to become
a better programmer. Audience members are expected to be familiar with Modern
C++, but are not expected to have any prior D programming experience.
Wow! Talking at ACCU is an honor. I'm so pleased you're doing this!
