In case someone are interested. Here are the ones that I think 
might be of interest to some D programmers/compiler enthusiasts.

Below is a link to a presentation that goes over C++ move 
semantics and some odd cases that has resulted in some, in my 
opinion unfortunate language additions. Since there is a lot of 
talk of move semantics in the D forums, this might be informative.

The Hidden Secrets of Move Semantics - Nicolai Josuttis

Atomics with relaxed memory order is more problematic than you 
might think. Should be as relevant for D compiler devs as C++.

Boehm

Another presentation of Halide, which basically just constructs 
an AST in C++, are there any bindings that are up to date?

Halide: A Language for Fast, Portable Computation on Images and 
Tensors - Alex Reinking

Might be useful for those interested in C++ interop. I guess some 
constructs could be difficult to map to D.

I don't really feel ranges is a good fit for C++, but the two 
presentations under gives an impression of two approaches. The 
last one is basically just syntactical.

Any thoughts? My immediate thought is that C++ is soon at a level 
where it will be near impossible to pick up for beginners.
