It's amazing how quickly important performance and QoL features get development priority once there's money on the table, isn't it?
Not that I'm complaining. I tried DF multiple times over the years and always bounced off, it's the mouse-driven interface that's made the game playable for me. Multithreading is great to see too. I'm excited to see what the future of DF holds.
I don't think it's money that is doing it, it's toady opening up the project. He's a great guy and made a masterpiece game, but he can't do everything. Commercialising the game was the impetus for him getting help, but Putnam in specific would almost certainly have helped him in this way any time had he asked her. She was doing free work for dfhack before, and has contributed to other foss stuff like CDDA
