According to Stack Overflow as of this year, #Ruby is *3 times* more popular than ZigMany languages & protocols have a formal process for submitting, discussing, showing support for, and ultimately approving or rejecting feature proposals.
Speaking of Kotllin, there's a GH repo for viewing & discussing KEEP (Kotlin Evolution and Enhancement Process) entries. https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP
Swift has a well-documented evolution process for tracking SEs, and steering groups with various focus areas. https://www.swift.org/community/#swift-evolution
#Ruby has a mailing list. 🤷🏻♂️ We wait for Matz to make his call.

And yet Zig has a legit Zig Software Foundation 501(c)(3) which publishes its finances transparently.
Kotlin is a bit more popular than Ruby, and the Kotlin Foundation is pretty corporate-backed without individual contributions, but at least it owns and controls the Kotlin trademark and not just one BDFL.
Ruby has a BDFL, no real “Ruby Foundation”, and Ruby Central is not transparent.
This is not good.
