Thanks. I haven't watched it all, but it brings back memories. It 
was DConf 2013 that convinced me to invest time in D. I posted [a 
comment on 
Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1etxqy/dconf_2013_day_1_talk_7_panel_with_walter_bright/ca3s8pi/) on the Q&A with Walter and Andrei on May 22, 2013 where I said "I would be willing to look seriously at D for the first time."  And now, 11 years later, I'm still using it.
