Abstract: With its speed, safety, and expressiveness, D excels for web development. However, D is not yet thought of as a compelling choice in that area. The best D tools and techniques for web development are young and not well known at th

I'm nowhere near that level but extrapolating from my experience and that of people I know: such abrupt departures are never amiable and are the tip of quite complex political junctures. As a human being, someone like Sinofsky is no longer

There are plenty of eng jobs at Facebook that require no PHP. In more than two and a half years there I wrote probably 50 lines of PHP.

This is Andrei. You'd be surprised; the interview was very difficult and I might have failed it just as easily. I got no C++ question (we seldom ask language-specific questions). Instead, my interviewers asked me questions related to my res
