I’m sponsoring Zig because I believe in what the team is building — and how they’re building it.

There’s a rare discipline in choosing not to rush. In prioritizing quality, long-term design, and taste over immediate adoption. The async I/O work is a perfect example of that patience.

I admire the ambition to improve core infrastructure like LLVM, and the pragmatic commitment to first-class C interop.

Zig has made low-level programming click for me in a new way. It strips away unnecessary abstraction while still making very complex systems approachable. I’ve learned more from writing Zig than from almost any other tool.

And honestly — it’s the language I enjoy writing the most.

Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The Zig Software Foundation is a non-profit corporation founded in 2020 by Andrew Kelley, the creator of Zig, with the goal of supporting the development of the language. Currently, the ZSF is able to offer paid work at competitive rates to a small number of core contributors. We hope to be able to extend this offer to more core contributors in the future.
