> The vast majority of people, when faced with a language that looks not great at the moment but could have a bright future, will react with "I'll take a look again in a year or two". You argue for the opposite, that people should contribute to Zig instead.
I'm trying EXACTLY to do that, and it's not logically inconsistent. I'm not sure why you are deliberately conflating "using a language" with "putting a (small) amount of money into a project". The exact point is "if you can't afford be present-focused in one way, be future-focused in a different way". I really don't have the energy to parse the rest of what you wrote.
