Hi,

For those that couldn't be here in London (Dconf'25) and want to know what was said, here are my notes that more or less relate what happened there in the talks from a subjective point of view: https://markdownpastebin.com/?id=f41ff5ddd8454d468e8c6e9d6d527004

That said several of the talks are kinda badly reported, it's a stamina thing.

Really amazing effort. I'm still watching because I missed the timeline, for some reason I thought DConf would start only in 26th, anyway thankfully it was recorded, and these notes keep me motivated to watch all.

Thanks,

Matheus.

D evaluation order at CT isn't documented, and is pretty much inconsistent.

I find it predictable, not intuitive, but literally predictable. I dont think theres chance its changeable given the number of order dependent bugs that exist and O(N^N^N) chances it only happens to work in existing code by trail and error where N is lines of code in the industry code bases which I hear is high

I think this is why d compiles fast compared to c++ and rust

I hope all'y'all upstream change your policy on this and just teach it somehow, spec-ify it and give basic tools for brute forcing it

Great notes -- thanks for taking the time to write a Trip Report!

Nice! It's a nice summary to read (and much quicker than to watch all videos) and choose few talks to watch.

You commented on Mike Shah's talk: "There was that one class in 2008 where I used D" or something like that. I wonder, what was the context? Why were you allowed to use D? Or was it a must in that class?

The context was: we had to work in labs on projects, and foolishly I asked to instead make open-source on whatever I wanted, so I almost got kicked out of school but in the end we made a team of 2 and that was our first completed D project.

So no, using D wasn't really allowed.
