Thanks again to everyone who submitted talks for DConf '23, and congratulations to those who were accepted. We've got what looks to be another solid lineup this year. Check it out:

I've also updated the page with information about BeerConf. Unfortunately, pub hire rates in the area are well beyond our budget this year. Much, much higher than last year. So we've fallen back to what we did pre-2019 and tentatively designated a hotel as the BeerConf spot:

Travelodge Central City Road

I know from staying there last year that they've recently undergone renovations and have an enclosed restaurant/lounge space off of the lobby, where one of the front desk clerks can sell beverages (alcoholic and non-) and snacks after the restaurant closes.

It's possible we could pick another spot, or (less likely) our event planner might find something to fit in our budget. I'll announce here and update the website if anything changes.

See you in London!

Lol, first a talk about the greatness of DIP1000 and then about the ugliness of it. I'll be happy to hear both!

Also interested to hear a talk from Timon. His insights are always so sharp here in the forums, so I'm expecting top-notch observations about tuple design.

Me too :-D I do not deny that DIP1000 is still a bit dark for me, I still haven't figured everything out exactly

I see that you strategically left time after my presentation.

:looks at his notes:

That is probably wise.

(I have some rants I can cut if I really need to fit in the 45 minutes. But they're very fun rants.)

Anyway, I can't wait to show off my compiler to everyone. It's not "finished", but it has some seriously cool things.
