Despite the fact that having a big company using D language is a good advertisement for the language itself, on the other hand I don't like this type company. Just one (new) sign: http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/11/technology/social/facebook-search-privacy/index.html?iid=Lead Please don't get me wrong, and don't bother to reply! Congratulations to you all. |
