I've been teaching my students for years about sound and music, and I always showcase Bobby Prince's work. Here's a fun clip of him playing in the early days: https://youtu.be/9w3yoIOK-9U?is=alZLs2OSL8pJ7JEQ

Indeed! Thanks for also linking my discussion with Wouter His early work on Cube engine and Amiga-E are still awesome to look at.

This is a rerecording of a recent talk I gave at the New Jersey Programming Language Seminar on the D programming language. It's a brief tour of the D programming language, why I enjoy the language(i.e. my 'sales pitch'), and also why I think there's more to choosing a programming language than a single dimension (which we often do). In any case, I encourage folks to try as many programming languages and tools as you can, and see which ones you like and find which language may be your competitive advantage -- maybe it will be the D language!

YouTube series has tutorials, and course videos are on my website. More slides and such will be posted on my website otherwise.

We have also been using D for computer graphics and game programming as of this year! :D

D was originally the 'Digital Mars Compiler'.
Everyone around Walter Bright kept calling it D because it was a modern language with C-like syntax. Thus, D the next letter in the alphabet and eventually Walter gave in. :)

Absolutely! Any game in C#, Java, or even C++ Unreal Engine games.

It's worth noting many (A majority as I understand) AAA game studios end up writing their own STL. I'm willing to bet many industries where performance is the primary concern also write much of their core libraries from scratch.
D lets user opt-out of collector as needed which is quite nice. D has been used in AAA game development for what it's worth as well.
I remember for myself: learning a new API (opengl), new paradigm (gpu programming), and new language(glsl) all on top of learning graphics concepts is a lot. OpenGL 4.5 and 4.6 are modern enough to get started and there are good resources to learn the 3.3+ stuff that I have built on.
See my website(mshah.io) for my paper on some of the 'why'.
