That's great. Some of my favorite C++ books were written by him.

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

I guess he heard someone mention at the last DConf that having an Effective D book is in order. :p

Intriguing and exciting! I know he has always referred to himself as a "one language pony" in the past; I'm curious to see how that plays out.

Scott Meyers also wrote the foreword for Andrei's book "The D Programming Language".

Question: I want to participate, but I am from another country,
then I need to get my passport first, but in case it is denied
(It happens sometimes) can I have a refund?
