You mean that a company that employs 10 devs for 60k (way below real salary of US companies - that the pledge is focused at the moment) which is 600k is not able to pay additional 20k to various maintainers, that will not even get entire 20k just just a small percentage?

you think TAZ could be applied in technology and open source?

Noone is against OpenAPI, definitely on the author, thing is that OpenAPI is just not for everything and AsyncAPI complements the rest. AsyncAPI doesn't have to imagine anything, ecosystem is already there :) MQTT,Kafka, Websocket and others were there long time before AsyncAPI. I recommend you look at the article once again.

what "async" means for you? is it just JS async/await for you? have you used Kafka, or Websocket or only writing and interacting with REST APIs?

give it a time, it is much younger but since last year it got lots of attention
