Does the foundation have plans to hire programmers? That's news
to me.
At the DConf16 Andrei announced in his keynote that he is in the
progress of finding sponsors and has already made quite some
progress (he mentioned 500K non-Zimbabwean dollars [1]), but also
noticed that he still needs to built a roadmap & agenda on how to
most effectively invest this money. I haven't heard much since,
but I hope that once the D Foundation got an official non-profit
status (according to the vision this is planned to happen in this
August), we might hear more.
Apart from that the D foundation currently already "hires" four
programmers as part of the GSoC program ;-)
