Title

Elegant D - There’s More to Programming than Getting Code to Work

Abstract

I want to program with style. With elegance. Something to display on the wall above the fireplace. Well, maybe not that far! But still, code should be a pleasure to read, not a tangle of ugliness.

This talk will be about how D implements elegance.

Speaker Bio

Walter Bright is the creator and first implementer of the D programming language and has implemented compilers for several other languages. He’s an expert in all areas of compiler technology, including front ends, optimizers, code generation, interpreter engines, and runtime libraries. Walter regularly writes articles about compilers and programming, is known for engaging and informative presentations, and provides training in compiler development techniques. Many are surprised to discover that Walter is also the creator of the wargame Empire, which is still popular today over 40 years after its debut.
