At the moment it’s a bit early stage but we are looking for enthusiast who has spare time and desire to spread the knowledge of D supremacy among students. The course will replace an equivalent of 1 year C++ course, but may start as half-year proof of concept.

Facts:
- 3h per week, scheedule can be easily adjusted but it should start within 8-17 hour range.
- pay at Russian Universities is usually super low esp if not having Ph.D, so really it’s more of volonteer role
- you don’t have to be professional lecturer, enthusiasm and desire to teach D is enough, you will have help of other senior folks
- I owe you a bottle of your favorite beverage and your favorite bug in Bugzilla if you agree ;)
- There is no hurry, it starts in September if all goes well.

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5710 might be worth it, even if it means moving from friends and a comfy job in Norway...

Oh that one.
Actually that'd isn't too hard.
If you can live with a potential performance penalty of less well optimizing backends.

I am currently with research for faster meta-programming facilities.
But I could probably spare a few hours to get a 5710 fix ready.

But I need a convincing usage example.

!!!  Haha Norway? So up for a Norway D meetup? Oslo? Turns out I even work with someone who went to uni with you - Håvard Kindem (who also says he’d join for such a meetup).

Email: Ali.akhtarzada@gmail... if you are already or ever are in Oslo :)

Cheers

Sounds nice!  Unfortunately, I won't be able to help in Moscow, but if the idea ever spreads to St. Petersburg, I'd definitely consider that.  Which university it is now, by the way?

I've been exploring the possibility to use D in teaching at my uni (St. Petersburg State University), but didn't push it much, and got no result so far.

Interestingly it’s Russian Goverment University for Humanities, but for their technical faculty.

The good folks that teach there are also part of my PhD advisor team. Basically they were fed up with troves of C++ lecturers who cannot grasp C++11 and the general misunderstanding with management:
- “We should teach good, modern C++ instead of our C++ course”
- “What do you mean - replace C++ with C++, what’s the point?”

Hilarious thing but D has no identity problem like that ;)

Я работаю в Москве и вполне мог бы заняться этим направлением.
