Why over 2 years?
Like VC investment, Id assume a lump sum up front allow them to move faster with that money (hiring the right people sooner, etc.)
I wonder if projects like this care more about predictability of income (e.g. not hiring people depending on future funding to sustain them)

On the other hand, the monthly payments mean they’re less likely to overcommit their spending up front.
If they’re hiring someone with twice-monthly paychecks, receiving the money up front doesn’t make much difference unless they want to hire based on projections of higher future donations, which is a risky move.

You didn't really leave the GP more informed than before.
Tastes are just subjective.
Some people can appreciate both. I actually like both languages for different reasons and I don't really understand why they're consistently being pitted against each other. Language wars are... for lack of a more appropriate and less-crass term... stupid.
I couldn’t agree more!
Rust feels like a better C++ with modern tooling. I am a tool that works for it.
lol what?
I was nodding along until that part which put things in a different perspective for me.
