Looking forward to it! The caliber of people at these conferences 
has been exceptional every year I've gone, and many of the ideas 
presented have been very valuable, whether they were directly 
related to DLang or not.

Just one small example was a 2017 talk by Bastiaan Veelo on D 
libraries implementing Parsing Expression Grammars, which I had 
never heard of at the time. But the idea ended up being very 
useful for greatly simplifying the interfaces of systems I was 
working on that year.


I've been doing quite a bit of work this year on the Google S2 
Geometric Library in D. If I can benchmark the library against 
the C++ version or show how it can be used to tackle some of the 
trickier real-time problems in large-scale web services, would it 
be a good candidate to try to make into a talk for the conference?
