D at 20: Hits and Misses, and what I learned along the way Oct 19

[Walter Bright]

I'll be speaking at the Northwest C++ Users's Group on Oct 19.

Work began on the D programming language 20 years ago. A huge part of language 
design is looking at the past for what worked and what didn’t, and divining 
future trajectories so the language can be where the ball lands. D has its share 
of strikes and home runs. I’ll be talking about a few of each, and lessons 
learned the hard way. I’ll pontificate a bit about where programming languages 
and D are headed.
