Beer involved. Conference. And they knew _me_? *Shocked*

:P

There were two distinct talks at CppCon2017 involving some 
seriously crazy C++ metaprogramming that I said that about. Very 
interesting how they made the compiler bend over backwards, very 
high-level stuff. Then when everyone was leaving the room I 
couldn't help but think that nobody would even mention those 
techniques in D, you'd get the job done in 5min.
