At the moment it’s a bit early stage but we are looking for

Sounds nice! Unfortunately, I won't be able to help in Moscow,
but if the idea ever spreads to St. Petersburg, I'd definitely
consider that. Which university it is now, by the way?
Interestingly it’s Russian Goverment University for Humanities,
but for their technical faculty.
I've been exploring the possibility to use D in teaching at my
uni (St. Petersburg State University), but didn't push it much,
and got no result so far.
The good folks that teach there are also part of my PhD advisor
team. Basically they were fed up with troves of C++ lecturers who
cannot grasp C++11 and the general misunderstanding with
management:
- “We should teach good, modern C++ instead of our C++ course”
- “What do you mean - replace C++ with C++, what’s the point?”
Hilarious thing but D has no identity problem like that ;)
