Kudos to bun for investing in a promising technology.
Does the Zig Foundation have a policy against corporate sponsors?
Otherwise the lack of sponsoring from the "big players" seems rather shocking. You'd think that zig has a decent chance in helping MS/Meta/Google/etc. somewhere along the way.
- kristoff_it 1y ago> Does the Zig Foundation have a policy against corporate sponsors? Not at all. We would be definitely open & happy to learn that one of the big companies are using Zig and would be interested in supporting us. (but we don't plan to give up board seats)
- robertlagrant 1y agoCan't wait for Microsoft to release Zag in 2027.
- geokon 1y agoSince it's not a 1.0, it seems at face value it's be difficult for a "big player" to use it in production. As far as I understand, breaking changes are expected.
- SchwKatze 1y agoYeah, makes sense, 1.0 is probably a critical point for a project like this, where from it, "big players" start trusting its business to the lang and therefore having a high interest on funding. But it's kind of a chicken and egg problem: they need more money to keep doing its great work and thrive to reach 1.0 but good money comes from 1.0 and beyond.
