Facebook puts bounties on bugs in the D programming language implementation

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Hello,


As part of a larger program to support the open source community, 
Facebook has is putting bounties on bugs in the D programming language 
implementation. The initial budget is small, but if we find that it 
accelerates development we may add to it.

As a sample we've added $80 bounties to three regressions:

http://goo.gl/LLhRIw

We're still tweaking the best allocation of sums to bugs depending on 
their importance and difficulty. I will update this list once I've 
allocated the entire budget, likely before the end of day today.

Beyond the money involved, this is a gesture of good faith, confidence, 
and investment in the future of D. Let's respond in kind!
