DConf 2026 in London: AI, Quantum Computing, and the Future of D
Join us in London from September 2 to 4 for DConf 2026, the premier annual gathering for the D programming language community. We are thrilled to feature talks on integrating LLMs into the Phobos standard library, the emotional stages of adopting AI, and a crash course in quantum computing with Silq. Whether you attend in person or via our livestream, come ready for insightful conversations, educational sessions, and face-to-face networking with experts like Walter Bright and Vladimir Panteleev.
We enjoy interacting with each other online, but there's no substitute for the chance to share ideas face-to-face between conference talks, over dinner, or in a local pub.

I haven't announced my keynote yet, but it's about various ways of handling errors and their tradeoffs. This has inspired some spirited debate in the D forums! I'm looking forward to engaging with everyone.

First day seems very LLM heavy, and sounds quite odd for Phobos 3. I would like to see Phobos 3 be more betterC forward, since I have found D to be nicer than C for WASM, but you can't use most nice things. Having a default RAII vector class for betterC and a hashmap would be super nice too.
Edit: Also would be nice to adopt move and copy semantics even closer to C++ and maybe need less explicit moves, and ideally less mess with calling __xdtor when trying to do RAII

What’s the status of the OpenD fork?[0] I see Adam is still active there but I’m not sure if it’s had any impact beyond losing him as an upstream contributor.

I don't know why but dlang continues to draw me - I've really enjoyed many of the talks in the past

Good language.
