Zig
It's Zig
Zig is actually pretty easy to get into. I got a Raylib game scaffold with scene switching running in a couple of hours from scratch, with no prior knowledge of the Zig language or ecosystem whatsoever.

rust is more proprietary than linus.
it's definitely generalized, but I'd say I fit the disruptive open source type, though i respect the trad open source guys a lot.. But, like.. as of currently, I can't even call myself an actual programmer seeing as I write stories instead of code nowadays..
Definitely would like to balance the two someday.
I have no idea😒
Language choice has nothing to do with foss vs proprietary.
Apple's preferred languages definitely have a smaller foss footprint than say c or rust or go

Emacs, icecat, guix, parabola, c, c++. Stallman. What are the others in that quadrant?
GNU Savannah and old thinkpads that can run with fully free software.
