I'm tempted and will think about it.

Topic idea one: Dust off my "Functional Programming in D" [0] 
talk. However, it is tight in 40 minutes for an audience, which 
probably does not know D at all.

Topic idea two: A more general talk about abstractions. Starting 
from the basics (procedures) up to Design-by-Introspection 
techniques which are quite D specific. In between stuff like the 
"magic" D Lua bindings. This topic is probably interesting for 
C++ and Java programmers as well. Other TopConf talks and thus 
the audience seem to be quite mainstream.
