Zig 2026: No-AI Policy, $670K Foundation, Left GitHub and Why Zig Isn't 1.0 [video]

I really appreciate how Zig is playing the long game. I'm a bit worried about how relevant they will be in the future due to the fast pace we're moving at right now with AI and all of this stuff, but I'd love Zig to become the next fundamental language for decades to come, so I think their approach is the right one.

I'm very excited about the future of Zig! I really love the conservative and measured approach they are taking. Unlike many others these days, they appear to prioritise doing things right over simply going as fast as possible and trying to grab as much attention as possible.

Github Gitlab should work with stripe to let projects gate PRs in the main repository, both for being in queue & jumping the queue for prioritization, solve sponsoring OSS for good.
