Hi,

For those that couldn't be here in London (Dconf'25) and want to 
know what was said, here are my notes that more or less relate 
what happened there in the talks from a subjective point of view: 
https://markdownpastebin.com/?id=f41ff5ddd8454d468e8c6e9d6d527004

That said several of the talks are kinda badly reported, it's a 
stamina thing.

Really amazing effort. I'm still watching because I missed the 
timeline, for some reason I thought DConf would start only in 
26th, anyway thankfully it was recorded, and these notes keep me 
motivated to watch all.

Thanks,

Matheus.

 D evaluation order at CT isn't documented, and is pretty much 
 inconsistent.

I find it predictable, not intuitive, but literally predictable. 
I dont think theres chance its changeable given the number of 
order dependent bugs that exist and O(N^N^N) chances it only 
happens to work in existing code by trail and error where N is 
lines of code in the industry code bases which I hear is high

I think this is why d compiles fast compared to c++ and rust

I hope all'y'all upstream change your policy on this and just 
teach it somehow, spec-ify it and give basic tools for brute 
forcing it

Great notes -- thanks for taking the time to write a Trip Report!

Nice! It's a nice summary to read (and much quicker than to watch 
all videos) and choose few talks to watch.

You commented on Mike Shah's talk: "There was that one class in 
2008 where I used D" or something like that. I wonder, what was 
the context? Why were you allowed to use D? Or was it a must in 
that class?

The context was: we had to work in labs on projects, and 
foolishly I asked to instead make open-source on whatever I 
wanted, so I almost got kicked out of school but in the end we 
made a team of 2 and that was our first completed D project.

http://www.dsource.org/projects/seamzgood/browser/trunk/videos/longcat_example_xvid.avi?format=raw

So no, using D wasn't really allowed.
