FYI the person with enough money to donate $300,000 to a programming language foundation is the founder of HashiCorp.

Using Mitchell's donation we'll be able to to offer Jacob Young a full time schedule. As a reminder, he's the primary author of the C backend, x86 backend, LLDB fork that adds Zig support, and maintains the eZ80 toolchain on the side, all without even having the ability to bill full time yet!
