Sounds like wasted effort, why improve tools for parsing C++ instead of improving tools for parsing D? It's good advertising for D, in a few ways: 1. C++ devs looking for faster compiles will learn about warp, and learn about D. 2. It shows that D is being used successfully in real projects. 3. It shows that D lives up to its performance claims. +1

It is now available as coming soon on the publisher's website: http://www.packtpub.com/discover-advantages-of-programming-in-d-cookbook/book I was hoping to have it finished in time for the D conference, but the publisher thought that was too soon to be realistic and it is looking like they are right... right now we believe it will be available in the summer. Congratulations! I will buy it as soon as it's available.

Most system languages predate this hardware evolution and provide poor solutions to problems that developers encounter using multi-core CPUs. The first part of this talk will introduce how multi-core CPUs work, what they are good at, and the conditions that may affect their performance negatively. The second part will look at how one system programming language takes advantage of multi-core CPUs. The D programming language learns from the mistakes of its predecessors and provides a much safer and comfortable environment to exploit multi-core machines by its default thread-local storage; immutable and shared data attributes; and parallelism, concurrency and fiber modules. Amaury Séchet is the main developer of SDC, a project aiming at providing a D compiler as a library. He currently works at Facebook as a software engineer. Excellent topic! Unfortunately, I am very far away. :( Any plans to upload a video? Thanks.

Looking forward to that book.

It pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, with safety and programmer productivity. Probably added recently by someone else. Andrei Yes, someone has added that after my post here. Thanks.
