Good to know, thanks. But freaking twitter is hiding the RSS feed, does anyone have an URL to put in a RSS feed reader?

Adam, for your talk you never said what your rational was for
doing this i.e.  what is the downside of Microsoft C# etc..(if
there is one ?).  wWhy go to all this effort ?

You can use http://www.twitter-rss.com/user_timeline.php?screen_name=D_Programming
It is an external service, but I think it should be fine for personal use.

Well, the reason I started looking for alternatives in the first place is exactly as mentioned in the talk. I found the Generic Constraints to be far too constraining... if you'll pardon the pun. But indeed there are more reasons than just constraints. There are certain things that just can't be expressed in C# because of the VM, pointers, etc. There is no concept of purity. No const. No shared. No built-in unittests. And that's just off the top of my head, I'm probably forgetting a few.

He said something like: the programming world isn't just Microsoft. Perhaps they like to use some other platform.
