Hello everyone,
Following an increasing desire to focus on working on the D
language and foundation, I have recently made the difficult
decision to part ways with Facebook, my employer of five years
and nine months.
Facebook has impacted my career and life very positively, and I
am grateful to have been a part of it for this long. The time
has come for me, however, to fully focus on pushing D forward.
As sorry I am for leaving a good and secure career behind, I am
excited many times over about the great challenges and
opportunities going forward.
Next step with the D Language Foundation is a formal talk with
the foundation's prospective attorney tomorrow. I hope to get
the foundation in motion as soon as possible, though I'm told
there are numerous steps to complete. I will keep this forum
posted about progress.
I'm also glad to announce that the D Language Foundation
already has a donor - I have decided to contribute my books'
royalties to it. I encourage others to respond in kind.
Thanks,
Andrei
Hi Andrei,
I don't know you in person, but you are my role model. You have
made a choice which is not simple, but I'm sure it is the right
choice, and I wish you to succeed with D, and with everything
else you're after.
