Wow, Great! MSU switched from Pascal to C and from 16-bit MASM to
32-bit fasm one year ago :-(.

I hope Academic City has more flexible program)

Please post it in СУНЦ НГУ!

Best Regards,

 Slides are in English, do most Russian programmers speak English?

No. However, most really interested in programming technology do. Pretty much as in any other part of the world.

Reminds me how I ended up in a 100% Russian bug tracker once, when I wanted to report a bug for a big, world-wide online game with localizations into 8 or more languages. In the end I used Google translate. (They do offer technical support in English, but I didn't want to deal with 1st level support and have mails going forth and back just to report an obvious bug. :p)

Heh, funny to see this said about D in slide 6, "It is complex (more 100 keywords vs 50 in Java)," especially since one of the selling points of D1 was its simplicity compared to C++.  I suppose in the feature race with C++, it was inevitable that that would get lost along the way.  Still, interesting to see that is now the public perception of D2 also.

Regarding the slide deck, nice job of summarizing D2 and pulling out the unique features that would interest new users. :)

Not only programmers and English.
It's mix of education, culture and pro activity (Internet helps).

Also additional language adds additional + to karma ;)
