I know they look trivial, but I trivialized them to get them to fit on a slide. 
There are few more worthless slides than ones with 50 lines of code on them. 
Nobody can understand 50 lines of code in a minute, let alone hear the presenter 
talking about it.

With many of them I included a link to a pull request that cleaned up a real 
example in DMD. (The real examples, of course, tend to be a bit more complicated.)


I'm sorry you didn't find it worthwhile.
