A masterclass in clear writing and transparency. I wish all nonprofits were like this.

I think you're a little too angry about this.

oh 100%.

I am just annoyed that every time Zig developers publish some articles or even make some comments here on HN they always contain something negative about someone else.

Like even in this thread when someone said that Zig wastes too much money on infrastructure the first thing Andrew Kelly does is to show that Rust spends much more.

As your other comment was flagged to death, no I'm not kidding you. I don't use Zig (or indeed Rust) so I don't have any particular feeling about the personalities or relative merits of the languages, other than that they are inferior because I don't like them as much as my favorites.

I think it's a good report because it's very clearly written and I was able to pick up a great deal of information about their financial situation/dynamics from a quick scan of less than a minute. I think if you're asking people for money, having a very high signal-noise ratio like that is optimal. I can read other formats (eg I have been browsing nonprofit form 990s for many years), but I like communication that is short and to the point.
