Abstract:  D structs are similar to their counterparts in other languages but they have significant differences as well. The mechanics of copying and moving struct objects are special in D.

Benefits: This talk will show how to take advantage of copy and move semantics of D to write efficient and safe data types in the presence of mutable, const, and immutable member variables and parameters.
