I've been wondering if a talk about how I built a bridge between D and 
Objective-C would be interesting: an explanation of how each successive 
template layer improves on the previous one, working for making it easy 
and safe to use at the end. Since the bridge is all written in D, it'd 
be a showcase for D templates and mixins, and for the limited 
compile-time reflexion from D1 that's needed. It'd also be an 
introduction to the Objective-C runtime and how two languages can be 
made to pass objects and throw exceptions at each other seamlessly. All 
this in one package (but is 90 minutes enough?).

That said, even if it's an interesting subject, I'm not sure I'm fluent 
enough in english, and I'm not much interested in defraying the cost to 
go there either, and I'm not sure of how much time I'll have to prepare 
it.
