Ahh.. the enthusiasm of youth...those were the days...

I think Eric's always going to look back on this video and ask 
himself..why did I say that.("..grease that barrier of entry into 
D.."). I'm stil trying to visualise that...but it's just not 
working for me.

I would like to see Chuck Allison talk about the experiences of 
students approaching D. I think that would be really worthwhile 
- or even yourself for that matter, given your strong interest 
in this area. Technical stuff is good and helpful, but I like 
to know about peoples experiences too...that's what really 
interests me the most, and should be at the core of any 
language design. So somebody examining D from this perspective 
could be really insightful to those contributing to the 
language.


It's really critical that D remain accessible to newcomers, or 
its' replacement is just around the corner.
