What other programming languages have established foundations like this? The other one I know of is the Python Software Foundation.

Based on an inartful Googling, here are some additional ones: * D [1] * F# [2] * Perl [3] I'm sure there are more. 1: https://dlang.org/foundation/about.html https://dlang.org/foundation/about.html 2: https://fsharp.org/ https://fsharp.org/ 3: https://www.perlfoundation.org/ https://www.perlfoundation.org/

"like this" is complicated, because different foundations do different things, but, beyond the Python Software Foundation, there is: * The OpenJS Foundation (Node) * Ruby Central is similar but also different * Parrot (for Perl 6...) had a foundation, not clear on what the project is like now though * https://www.perlfoundation.org/ https://www.perlfoundation.org/ And of course, many many foundations that support open source projects that aren't programming languages.

The first coming to my mind is the .NETfoundation https://dotnetfoundation.org/ https://dotnetfoundation.org/ baked by Microsoft but more and more community driven

Microsoft did this a few years ago for .NET and it seems to have been a really smooth process. Hopefully they're advising Mozilla on this.

The Perl Foundation (https://www.perlfoundation.org/ https://www.perlfoundation.org/) has existed for many years. I've been a board member for a year or so. We began life primarily to support the YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference) community-run conferences, but now we also support development of the language itself.

  Correction: We now support both the Perl and Raku languages, as well as conferences for those languages. Apologies for the mistake!
