Moving forward with work on the D language and foundation

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d-announce]

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
