Upcoming ACCU 2024 Talk: How DLang Improves my Modern C++ and Vice Versa

[Mike Shah]

I'll be talking more about D (and modern C++) at the ACCU 2024 
conference in Bristol (Abstract below -- talk is on April 19, 
2024).

Let me know if you'll be joining (in-person or online)! The 
recording of the talk will otherwise be posted after the talk, 
and slides will immediately be available on my website after the 
talk is given.

ABSTRACT: The D programming language (DLang) is a multi-paradigm 
language (like C++) developed to solve real software engineering 
problems. DLang has a rich history since its inception in 2001, 
and continues to be an actively evolving memory-safe language 
used in industry. In this talk, I will discuss how learning and 
using the D language has directly benefited my use and learning 
of C++ and vice versa. We'll look at the evolution of both C++ 
and Dlang, and see how each language has borrowed from each other 
during their most recent evolution in the past decade. Throughout 
the talk, I will provide side-by-side code comparisons showing 
idiomatic ways to complete tasks in D alongside C++ code 
examples. The goal of this talk however is not to pit one 
language against the other, but rather to show how to use each 
language to its strengths and learn how to become a better 
programmer. Audience members are expected to be familiar with 
Modern C++, but are not expected to have any prior D programming 
experience.
