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.

Ages ago in C++ there was the hope of having the standard library give more error codes and use error values instead of full exceptions. Zig has some excellent innovations in that direction, any hope of that in D?

Edit: I think it was called "Herbception"s after Herb Sutter, and it really sounded like a good idea to me
