Hi everyone,

Videos of Rust Conf 2017 are now available, and Joe Duffy did the 
closing keynote telling his experience developing Midori.

Specially relevant are the parts where he explains the internal 
resistance from classical C devs at Microsoft, adopting a more 
safe systems programming.

Some of his ideas also apply to improving D's adoption among 
system devs.

Some interesting observations he made: 1. rigor is not wanted when prototyping D recognizes this in that you can ignore safe programming and pretty much all of the annotations when writing quick & dirty prototypes. 2. syntax matters This has always been a focus with D, in that the syntax is meant to be easy and familiar. 3. Incrementalism matters This is the focus of -betterC, where D can be incrementally adopted by existing programs, rather than all-or-nothing.

Sounds like blog post material.
