Facebook together with Digital Mars pay for fixing bugs in the compiler D

Yesterday, at the forum forum.dlang.org, Andrei Aleksandrescu (Developer of D language and author of the book: The D Programming Language "- 2010) announced the launch of a bonus program for correcting bugs in the D language.

To begin with, per day were exhibited rewards for bugs totaling about $ 1500.

According to Andrew, if this accelerates the development of community D, further support can be expected. It is difficult to say how adequately exhibited rewards. However, the first award has already been paid . I doubt that this fresh bug would have lasted long and without reward, but it was fixed on the first day of the bonus program.

Also, ordinary users can independently increase the reward for correcting a bug. Thus, help the community and accelerate the development of D. Thus increasing the chances of more rapid elimination of bugs.

Walter Bright, the owner of Digital Mars, reports that he is sometimes asked how to support community D.

Walter Bright endorses this community support method.
