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

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