Just out of curiosity, what are the evils of AST macros (or could you point me to something you like on the topic)? There was extended discussion in old threads but short summary of my opinion is: - allows implicit changes to language semantics (== learning new framework is effectively learning new language) - overlaps in functionality with mixins for majority of use cases - less intuitive to newcomers (though cleaner/safer to experienced programmers, I admit that) - requires standard (and stable!) AST format

We are rather far from being able to tell what good stable AST format could be be in the long run. Maintaining two different formats is a way to address that but I feel that effort required goes beyond the realm of realistic at that point.

What was the decision, that Fibers should or should not be allowed to migrate between threads? Is the discussion in one of the recorded talks? Walter said that fibers must be movable between threads, it was part of the AMA I think (day 1 final talk). Just listened to it. I would be interested to know applications where migrating Fibers across threads is a good thing. I can imagine server load balancing over cores. What else? The issue I've been tripped up by with migrating Fibers is that compiler backends like LLVM and GCC do some nice optimizations with thread-locals on some targets that lead to incorrect code when a Fiber yields and comes back on a different thread. To get it right, the compiler would have to assume that any function call could return on a different thread. The solutions I can think of today are to: not optimize (not a good solution), or have a special compiler switch to not optimize TLS (not available in backend), or ensure Fibers don't access TLS vars (not sure how that could be done except by being careful), or don't migrate. Inlining makes being careful difficult because a function call before and after a yield may access the same TLS var, and compiler then decides to cache the TLS address in a register. I have been prototyping a Fiber check that throws an exception on targets with this issue, and the developer can override it by setting a Fiber property, after promising to be careful. http://forum.dlang.org/thread/onkyxucuuthaqxxbk...@forum.dlang.org#post-m2d223wqa0.fsf:40comcast.net

Hmm, there may be a little disconnect here. Organizing conferences costs money, which currently comes from Walter and my pocket. Whilst I understand how it's awfully exciting to enjoy quality content from the comfort of one's device, we need more attendees before more conferences to make the checkbooks balance. Besides, there is no substitute for being there, as I'm sure all of this year's DConf participants may attest. I've been thinking that D needs more globally-available talks like this throughout the year. One way to do it would be to schedule monthly livestreams of a D developer in front of his webcam, like the Jai programming language guy was doing. I could help organize something like this, but the problem isn't getting it up and running but having people actually give talks. I can't even get people to answer my emails for email interviews about D (with the exception of Mihails, who's been very prompt). No doubt everybody is very busy and D is a hobby that's easily pushed aside, but online talks could keep the conference momentum going throughout the year.

Special thanks to John Colvin for the livestream! It was really great and grandiose! I hope that next year someone will give a video camera to livestream with higher resolution to enjoy DConf 2016 fully. Why not DConf is carried out twice a year!? :) E.g. in May and in November. It would be really great. Please think about it!

Organizing conferences costs money, which currently comes from Walter and my pocket. Whilst I understand how it's awfully exciting to enjoy quality content from the comfort of one's device, we need more attendees before more conferences to make the checkbooks balance. Besides, there is no substitute for being there, as I'm sure all of this year's DConf participants may attest. Andrei
