[@MikeFromKorea]

Thanks for having me on, Mike! I enjoyed it.

[@MikeShah]

Absolutely -- it was fun to have you be the interviewee 😁

[@stevenschveighoffer7738]

Both Mikes are great friends of mine and fantastic members of the D community! Always great to hear from you two.

Nice video! For me, Mike Parker is the face of DConfs. Than you Mike!

[@MikeShah]

Cheers! Mike Parker does such a wonderful job with DConf and DConf online!

Come on Mike, I still havent finished the Pony talk yet 😭There is only so much attention retention for your ad revenue I can give mike!!! Also me: *grabs a snack and a drink to listen in the background* Also, left field, but D is really great in giving me a choice of a compiler because somehow, dmd doesnt not work on my machine and I don't know why. (I am on Linux) I think the RPM was busted. But I ended up sticking to LDC/GDC as they work fine out of a box and are updated recently enough. I can appreciate these slower moving languages sometimes since ever since I upgraded my PC, I had to get a new distro for my Arc card to...'work'.

[@MikeShah]

Hehe, don't worry I'm slowing done the next week. :) I can also relate -- my queue of listening to other programming podcasts/talks is sooo long. Hmm, maybe post to the D forum if the RPM is not working? I think the next release will happen in January. I've otherwise had DMD working on Ubuntu 20,22,24 so far from the default installer. GDC also I recently installed from the apt package manager. LDC2 also working (though I use that on Mac).

Mike is one of the few people that knows what LG stands for and it's not "Life is Good"

[@MikeShah]

Indeed 'Life's Good' is just the slogan. That would be a good trivial question on a game show :)
