Yes, that example was great. I do wonder if everyone watching 
understood how neat that code was, particularly those who only 
use dynamically typed languages but also those unfamiliar with D 
or C++ templates. It might help to have a slide that expands a 
template for two different inputs to show what's going on prior 
to getting to the cool stuff.

Also, I'd give a quick blurb about the template parameter syntax 
in future talks. It's a bit quirky so I think a sentence or two 
before getting into examples is helpful. I know I was confused by 
it the first time I saw it (I think it was something like 
to!int(var); and I was rather confused by what was going on 
there).
