tl;dr: Mitchell Hashimoto's family is pledging an additional $400,000 to the Zig Software Foundation (split over two years), bringing their total support to $700,000. He praises Zig's technical progress, community philosophy, and strict no-LLM contribution policy—even though, as a heavy AI user himself, he doesn't fully agree with it. He credits Zig with making Ghostty possible and defends the project's right to set unconventional boundaries amid recent debate sparked by Bun's Zig fork and Rust rewrite. | |
