Thanks for sharing that article. Most open-source projects start not with a plan to monetise but because an engineer wanted to solve a problem by themselves.
Also, when i read zloirock’s post about what it takes to maintain ‘core-js’, i couldn’t understand why he would not just walk away or at least take on a lesser role. It isn’t good for any project if it depends on one person. Especially for something that is such a core part of the js ecosystem (pun intended). I’m sure he’d get lots of volunteers if not the money directly.
