Why not put "DConf 2014" in the title too?

The reddit response this year hasn't been particularly impressive it seems to me compared to last year :(

I have found many of talks this year incredibly interesting for actual D users but not as "catchy" for something that passes by. Also lot of stuff has been discussed live in #d and ustream chat room.

Or r/programming is just so saturated with links that something that does not fit into "tl; dr" paragraph does not get any attention :)

Yeah.

It could be that it isn't on the youtube right off too. I posted there saying I tried the ogv and it was awful and the mp4 was too big... so maybe other people aren't inclined to bother with the downloads either.


BTW I tried posting the link to the sample chapter of my book in this too since it talks about reflection and the post seems to have just disappeared. I think I triggered reddits comment spam filter :(

I gave up posting links on reddit years ago - every one gets deleted as spam, and then I have to beg the moderators to de-spam it.

Great talk, missed this on the livestream as I went to sleep.
Between Dmitry's regex talk and this one, good to see talks
demonstrating how they actually used D to build something
interesting and how D-specific features helped them build it
better.  These talks are much better than the more abstract
talks, hopefully we see more of them next year.

r/programming and hn is all about rust and go. on hn many d posts are invisible after some time. i believe mods are taking action there. if we want their attention, we should compare d with others; we should benchmark d and brag about the results etc. other than that, people are not paying attention to D and it's beautiful features.

and also the genius idea to post each talk seperately instead of having a nice talks page on dconf.org and providing a link for that. i'd understand the keynotes but for the rest of the talks this is / was not a good idea.

This is the most interesting talk I have seen so far from DConf14, very good.
