Pledging Another $400k to the Zig Software Foundation

I went from Alacritty to Ghostty for ligatures and some other small goodies. I could probably get those same goodies with Kitty, but I didn't want to try nor have the desire to try. I may go back to Alacritty if I grow tired of Ghostty.

I've always found ligatures (fi, ff, ffi etc) really ugly. Or are you talking about using them for hacked purposes (-> in C)?

Then again I don't put different foods on my fork when eating - which seems relevant.

`==`, `===`, `->`, `-->` are more pleasant to read with ligatures on. It's silly, but nice.
