the scheduler solution was brilliant and the semantic analysis of

Here is a belated applause that should have happened during those 
slides.

Well done.

Unfortunately, I missed the talk. Sounds promising (I'm using an explicit scheduler component for semantic analysis as well.) What does comprehensible mixin error message mean exactly?

deadalnix showed a piece of code that had a compilation error inside a mixin string that was mixed in by another mixin. The compiler was pointing out the exact column of the mixed in error, as well as all the inclusion backtrace. Ali

I think the talk will be available, but as it was the last one, probably in a long time :( The mixin thing was an explanation of what the compiler does when it encounter error within mixins. Basically, it show the error message with the "mixed" in code, and show the mixin where that code come from.

Once SDC is completed, that will likely be a huge leg-up over dmd, given how poorly it handles those. - Jonathan M Davis

Hi, I'm not sure how much this is a reference to the 'upworthy' slide and how much you were impressed, but whatever the ratio, thank you.

Also, while we are at it, thank to David Ellsworth, for his great picture of Andrei. Now we will be able to advertise massively on the net (if you don't understand any of this, you'll know soon).
