If Julia gets a talk there, maybe someone could present LDC in 
2014?

Hi qznc,

I am aware of this event. :-)
Please just wait a bit - I hope I can announce some interesting 
talk soon.

Regards,
Kai

In the LLVM conferences the Slides/Videos are often interesting. 
This year an interesting talk for the D language is the 
"Annotations for Safe Parallelism in Clang" by Alexandros Tzannes:

Hi and low resolution video (no slides yet):

Having a simple way to plug a type system to D code will become 
increasingly important.  annotations don't suffice.

Bye,

A very good one is from Sony about why they moved to clang as the
official PS4 compiler.

To see what game developers expect from their toolchains.

Function-level-optimization-disable is an interesting feature. 
The reason is games cannot use non-release/debug builds. Only 
single functions can be built in non-release/debug mode without 
violating their real-time constraints.
