· 5 pulledMy family is pledging another $400,000 to the Zig Software Foundation (ZSF).
Zig continues to earn my respect as a technical project and as a community.
The 2026 devlog shows steady progress on the hard problems of building an excellent language and compiler.
I also deeply respect the project's approach to maintainership and community, reflected in initiatives like Loris Cro's Contributor Poker and Zig's AI Ban.
That philosophy continues to attract and develop some of the most talented people in open source.
