#3> For each of our companies to donate $256,000 in monthly installments over the next two years, with Synadia matching TigerBeetle, for a total of $512,000
Why over 2 years?
Like VC investment, Id assume a lump sum up front allow them to move faster with that money (hiring the right people sooner, etc.)
I wonder if projects like this care more about predictability of income (e.g. not hiring people depending on future funding to sustain them)

They have clients in many languages. But the zig repo is still just a placeholder. They often have bare bones servers in the languages too, like rust has one, but I think they are mostly for testing.

We are waiting on the IO abstraction for a supported Zig client (There are others though today), but this is specifically for a new initiative at Synadia that we will share more details about soon!

#10Joran from TigerBeetle here!
Zig has changed my life, and our team, by making TigerBeetle possible. It's been an incredible journey these past 5 years, and excited that we can now pay it back (and forward!) to the Zig Software Foundation, also matching with my friend Derek Collison and Synadia in doing so.
Thanks to Andrew for creating something beautifully special for the world in Zig, and to all the Zig core team and communities.
If you don't yet donate to the foundation, please consider doing so: https://ziglang.org/zsf/
