But according to the list lower down on that page the State Department only refuses 3.5% of requests from Brazil so I imagine that it would be fairly easy to get one. The type of visa you will specifically need is a B1 visa. -- Adam Wilson GitHub/IRC: LightBender Aurora Project Coordinator

Does this mean D has to get the r-value references situation in order before May? :P That is funny :)

Re: Scott Meyers will deliver a keynote talk at DConf 2014
I'm impressed! Will it be about D? Considering his high specialization in C++, my guess is that it will be some comparison remarks between C++ and D.
Re: Scott Meyers will deliver a keynote talk at DConf 2014
This is important step forward from internal community fuss to wider recognition. Scott is person to recogned with!
