Re: Faster Command Line Tools in D

He has now put the effort into crafting a blog post on the same topic, where he takes D version of a command-line tool written in Python and incrementally improves its performance. The blog: https://dlang.org/blog/2017/05/24/faster-command-line-tools-in-d/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6d25mg/faster_command_line_tools_in_d/ There are repeated references over usage of D at Netflix for machine learning. It will be a very helpful boost if someone comes up with any reference or a post regarding how D is used at Netflix and addition of Netflix to https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html will be amazing.

Re: DConf 2017: Bigger, Badder, and Berliner! Call for Submissions now open

We're happy to announce that the D Language Foundation is cooperating again with Sociomantic to organize DConf 2017 in Berlin for the second time. Same location, same dates, but of course a whole new experience! The D programming language has improved dramatically this year thanks to more focus brought up by the D Language Foundation, better participation from corporate users and worldwide volunteers, and the advent of world-class open-source libraries such as Sociomantic's Tsunami and Ilya Yaroshenko's GLAS. The D Language Foundation has accumulated a war chest and announced a scholarship that already enrolls four MSc students. DConf is the main face-to-face event for everyone and everything related to the D language and environment. The 2017 edition will be held in Europe for the second time, following last year's smashing success. Which, of course, we plan to smash again! Call for Submissions We are looking forward to your submission for a paper, talk, demo, panel, or research report (new!) for DConf 2017. The topics of choice are anything and everything related to the D language. For more details, check the conference page: http://dconf.org/2017/index.html Great news! A couple of js, svg and png files are missing. I tried to raise an issue in dconf.org at Github but it seems issues are disabled. I tried force reload on Mac OSX Chrome but the issue persists. Hope someone can verify the issue. Seems it could not be reported at issues.dlang.org. Hope dlang.org could also be updated with the news. Filed an issue at https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16693 Thanks!
