Topic 2:

Topic : Introduction to the D programming language
Duration: 60 min.
D is a rising compiled language that allows much of the flexibility of
scripting languages, but can run at the speed of C or C++. I will
introduce the creators of the language, give a high-level overview of
its features, show some basic syntax and core concepts, and talk about
current usage and successes. Most of the language and D libraries are
open source and available on github.

D was just merged into GCC 9 and was used to build the world's fastest
filesystem.
