I went to a talk on YouTube. It was about how they have been adapting to changing demands over the years. One of the major issues was the decoding/encoding of videos (including enhancement of quality). For this they break the videos up into digestible chunks and encode/convert/edit the chunks separately. At the end of the process they put all the chunks back together again. A video can thus be processed in 5-10 minutes.

The second major point was, of course, streaming and buffering.

I was thinking that D with ranges and component programming might be of interest for YouTube. The only thing I was worried about was the memory bit. The demands are quite tough (low footprint, speed). I know that GC can be deactivated in D but the library still depends on it. In my projects GC does not hurt, but for life streaming and the like it might be a different story. Does anyone have any experience with D in this respect? Any opinions?

Sorry, forgot to mention that they emphasized the importance of developing test suits (they update their system every week). Unit tests are a great asset in this respect, I think.

Would you be interested in doing a live stream programming on Twitch?
I started doing it recently when I can.
It would be great to get together a group of us and do it with e.g. Mumble.

We can publish videos on to Youtube after the stream (Twitch helps with that).

I have no experience with that and have too many projects going on at the moment. I'm afraid I have to decline.

Thats fine, its open to anyone though. As a method for advertising and teaching.
