> There is no big company behind Zig, and the non-profit foundation stands on its own legs thanks to a balanced mix of corporate and individual donations. We don't have any big tech company on our board of directors, and frankly, we like it this way.

I hope it stays this way. And maybe it can given the way the foundation has been bootstrapped, and that the project is driven largely by a single creator. Having the funding be driven largely by small donations of actual developers is a healthy incentive structure.

Zig, next to Rust, is one of the more interesting language projects going on these days. Since Rust became orphaned from Mozilla, I am a bit ambivalent about the amount of investment in the project which is being driven by tech giants currently.
