Nonetheless, I would not bet anything too serious on such a small language.
Arguably, only the explosion of AI slop (maybe it's more profitable), has slowed down the outrageous bombardment of Zig and Rust peddling. Languages which are not even in the top 10, but one would not have known that, by the number of previous HN headlines.

You should judge the language based on its license and what it does, not on the morality of people who wrote it and sponsored it.
Either produce an alternative language which does the same thing written by more "unshady" people and supported by a large corporation (talking about the "small language" comment here).
These human emotions won't matter in 6 months as code will be increasingly written by machines which have no such considerations.
The "AI" makes a few changes of the free content it sucked up, then gives it back based on correct prompts, for a fee. They got it for free, but you will pay a fee. If it is not something simple, it's often riddled with errors or takes a huge numbers of prompts to get it right. So some time was saved in typing, but then lost in code review and fixing errors. Humans that can understand what they are doing, troubleshoot, and architect are still needed.
People got interested in the language over wildl claims that are simply CS-wise impossible. Later, these were removed from the site and you are left with a.. not too interesting language. I'm judging it on this late phase, with a bad taste in my mouth from the former shenanigans.

Come on..
