Why sponsor the ETL?
The
Embedded Template Library
(ETL
) was first pushed to Github back in 2014, but I had been developing the
concepts behind the
ETL
for quite some time before that. I had found it a little annoying that every time I changed
employer I had to reinvent the code, based on the concepts I already knew.
In 2014 I had a couple of months between jobs, so I decided to put my knowledge into a library that could be shared
with other embedded coders. At the time, the functionality was fairly limited and I just worked on it one or two
evenings a week at the most. Now, over seven years later, it has a far greater range of functionality applicable to the
embedded developer, and a large number of users have downloaded the library for everything from personal
projects to international companies developing commercial products.
This has increased the workload tremendously, sometimes up to 30 hours a week. Unfortunately, this is not
compatible with holding down a job that pays the bills! When I have to find work, the
ETL
gets very little attention.
At the moment, I am funding time working on the
ETL
through my personal savings.
Please consider sponsoring the
ETL
and allow me to give you the support you and the hundreds of other users
deserve.
Many thanks,
John Wellbelove
