We at Facebook are very excited about the upcoming DConf 2014.


Will the videos be available afterwards at Andreis Youtube 
stream like last year?


+1

There's a big overlap between people who can't be at dconf and 
who also can't watch the live feed due to the time difference.


Like me, I tried my best to stay up after 1.30am to watch Andrei 
and Walter get peppered with questions, but since I left 
university, my ability to stay up (unaided by alcohol at least) 
is well gone.

I really don't understand the problem with IDE. He mentions 
that he's not interested in any autocompletion, refactoring 
or anything like that.


Actually not. I'm just opposed to any work on them right now. 
The point is that all of those things are COMPLETELY WORTHLESS 
if the IDE crashes. It's not just "a bug". It's an absolute 
showstopper, and I'm begging the community to do something 
about it.

Fix the crashes, and then we can talk.


I use Notepad++ now and have used TextPad in the past.  But, 
those are just text editors with syntax highlighting (fairly 
flexibly and simply customisable highlighting BTW).


What are the basic features you would require of a development 
environment, I am thinking of features which go beyond the 
basic concept of a text editor, such as:


- The concept of a 'project' or some other collection of source 
files which can be loaded/displayed in some fashion to make it 
easier to find/select/edit individual files


- The ability to hook in 'tools' to key presses like "compile" 
executing "dmd ..." or similar.

How about a GUI front end to vibe-d's dub?

I use that extensively on command line and find it very good, I 
imagine it would be easy enough write a GUI for it...
