D Fibers

Ali will present a shorter version of his DConf 2016 talk: Multitasking with D (http://dconf.org/2016/talks/cehreli.html).

D's fibers (coroutines) are not a part of the language but a feature implemented by the D runtime.

This talk should be fairly accessible to new programmers even without a CS background as it will explain the function call stack as well as context registers, concepts necessary to understand how fibers are useful at all.

As always, bring all other D questions and comments...

Ali Çehreli has been working with C, C++, and D in Silicon Valley since 1996. He is the author of the book "Programming in D", a board member of The D Language Foundation, and an organizer of the DLang meetup group in Silicon Valley.
