This is great.

I've submitted an abstract for an oral presentation on "Compiler-Assisted Quality" at an upcoming Boeing software conference. (I haven't heard yet whether it's been accepted.) I was going to ask for a list like this to help prepare the presentation.

The theme of the conference is software quality, which is why I had to give the presentation that dorky name. The presentations are not supposed to be vendor-specific so I hesitated to use "D Programming Language" in the title (even though D is free as in free beer) but I will be using D for all the examples. Thanks again.
