Key point:

We humbly ask if you, reader, are currently donating through GitHub Sponsors, that you consider moving your recurring donation to Every.org, which is itself a non-profit organization.

I won't ever write zig but respect to the maintainers for moving to codeberg and sticking to their principles. If the nixos foundation had any, they would move too (but I guess fighting in the forums is more fun than moving).

Your move, Rust. I'd love to see it happen.

This is great. Overdue if you consider the values they espouse. Quite feasible for a compiler project to ignore the network effects of Github. Is their Discord usage next :-)

Btw, anyone has a backup of all the Github projekts? Just in case MS accidentally deletes stuff again.

I had a pleasant experience moving my project from github to codeberg. CI is nicer in codeberg because of local runners; easy to migrate too

I was planning to look into Zig for this year's Advent of Code. Haven't really looked at it yet, but I've heard good things about it. Nowadays I mostly write in C# or Python for smaller scripts, so I kind of expect getting back to C-style code might have some friction, but it's about time to refresh my memory. I had a pretty good time with Rust for AoC in the previous years (not that I ever used it for anything else), but I guess it's time to try something else.

Nice summary on some of githubs issues.

They mention they're concerned about not having GitHub's fundraising help, but I didn't see a wallet address to donate to them at.

There's a dev working on a project I proposed for a Radicle fork with good support for wallet addresses, to replace GitHub while offering better fundraising potential: Project Zymogen

I’ve not had the time to do a proper sit-down with Zig, despite all the cool things I’ve heard about it; but at least it seems that the team’s got their heads in the right place. Hell yeah.
