I know literally nothing about business accounting or business taxes. Why does the expenses include both the employee's compensation and also their taxes? Do businesses claim their employees taxes as expenses?
Very cool to see such a detailed report about finances.
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.
It's kinda sad the state of things where startups with only buzzwords and slop (I'm looking at you horoscope AI app) end up raising more money than actual tech projects that will, actually, improve infrastructure and innovation.

> we need more recurring donations
Damn... really? More than $170k/year from Github Sponsors? That's got to be the most successful Github Sponsor income ever right?
I’m sure there are many people that would happily donate more so he can make more for his work. Which I had the budget to donate atm
The Zig Foundation model of paying contributors is really interesting. I don't think I've seen it done on this scale before, but hope it takes off.
