By this time last year, dconf 2014 preparations were already under way but I haven't heard anything this year. Is another one planned?

Yes. Still working on getting confirmation of the date.

You mean to say that it's moving from it's usual time slot next year? (Weekend before spring bank holiday)

By the way, who ever is co-coordinating this can also get help from SV D meetup and likely Berlin and help each other.

Are you going to present us with more classics slides? :)

I haven't decided if I'd do a submission this year or not yet (and even if I did, there's of course no guarantee it would be accepted!). That's one of the reasons I was asking, last year the deadline was in January so if I do decide to do it, I'll have to start thinking about it soon!


I'm kinda tempted to talk about my jsvar.d and script.d this time. I might also blab about web.d, but the var+script thing is kinda interesting at a quick glimpse:

// this is valid D code!
var a = 10;
var b = "20";
var c = a + b;

var d = json!q{ "foo": { "bar": 10.2 } };

writeln(d.foo); // {"bar":10.2}

d.foo.bar = (var a) => a ~ b;

writeln(d.foo.bar()("hello! "));  // double parens cuz @property isn't right
// hello! 20


You might remember a thread I made a year or two ago asking "is this D or is it javascript?". That kind of thing I think lends itself fairly well to slides.

I wrote this program yesterday:
https://github.com/adamdruppe/inspector

And even I was amazed with how integrating my http2.d - a pretty traditional D module with no special scriptable code - just worked when I plugged it into a var and ran it from my little script language.

The templates and operator overloads did all the work in showing the web responses. That's kinda cool.

Indeed very cool, well done!

Yes, please submit one!

According to javascript convention, if you stored a delegate in object's property, d.foo.bar("hello! ") is still a method `bar` called on a value from property `foo`, it's forwarded internally to the delegate when `bar` happens to be a property.
