What a bold move.
There are other in the OS communities, languages guru's that are working 100% on the language?
Matz is working only on ruby at heroku?
Guido, is working full time at dropbox?
I think this is huge lose for Facebook and a big win for D lang comunity
- forgettableuser 11y agoThe question on my mind (and probably everybody else's) is Facebook backing away from D? Seems like if they were stepping up D, they would want to keep him on board to help improve it. And backing away from D might have encouraged him to leave.
- npongratz 11y agoAnything is possible (crystal balls are notoriously unreliable), but in the linked forum, Mr. Alexandrescu says Facebook is not backing away from D: "Facebook is and continues to be a D user, the last project I was working on (and is ongoing) uses D, and there's more use in smaller internal projects. But there is no stronger involvement for the time being." http://forum.dlang.org/post/qnfbjzpldfhqsfqclqdx@forum.dlang.org http://forum.dlang.org/post/qnfbjzpldfhqsfqclqdx@forum.dlang...
