Awesome!

For those who can't/don't want to watch the videos online, here are links  
to download videos and presentation materials:

Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu
Jul 9, 2008 Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu discussing the future of  
the D Programming Language.
The future of D is a fun topic that's on the minds of, well, everyone.  
These two will present a joint talk about what's coming, how it will  
affect the language, and some of the reasons behind the changes.

Don Clugston
Generating Truly Optimal Code
Jul 9, 2008 Don Clugston's presentation is about the innovative  
metaprogramming features in D that give library writers the possibility of  
generating highly optimised code on-demand, with a quality that was  
previously only available to a compiler back-end. In this presentation,  
the key techniques will be discussed, and illustrated using the BLADE  
library, which performs basic linear algebra operations with a performance  
equivalent to hand-crafted assembly code.

Benjamin Shropshire
Compile Time Abstraction
Jul 9, 2008 Benjamin Shropshire's talk at the D Programming Language  
Conference:\r\n\r\nThis talk covers a number of topics involving template  
compile time techniques. It begins with a quick intro to what these  
techniques are. Then it proceeds into a more in depth look at some compile  
time abstractions and a few novel compile time processing structures.  
Lastly it takes a look at why, when and when not to use compile time  
techniques.
