#2Bun, but managed by someone who values code quality? Sign me up. It’s a Herculean task, though.

#3> I don’t think any human should sacrifice their sanity untangling this mess of 600K lines of slop code. For that reason, I will not be accepting any human-coded contributions until I deem the project to be in a sane enough shape.
Very funny to see a "no humans allowed" contribution policy, and the absurd part is that the rationale actually makes sense.
I'm interested to see where this goes. Is it possible to "deslop" something of this magnitude?

As AI will only get better, accepting contributions can also be automated.
The tendency is that open source will die as a collective effort, except for some hardcore stakeouts. AI will become the repository owner. The rest of us just doesn't care enough.
This puts users in control.. just pay and you get your feature in a version generated just for you.

#5Very interesting, but without an ecosystem I doubt this person can keep maintaining it long term. Bun users who don't care about slop will continue to use Bun, those who care will go back to Node.js, and there isn't much left for this project. It is a gigantic task to maintain a JS runtime and add features.

This does anything but put the user in control. I also think that arbitrary new features on established platforms are not in any close future as it already burns many tokens for you to instruct your agent to fork something and add x, y, z.

I don't see the irony? LLMs are much better at cleaning up a mess. Using LLMs not properly created that mess in the first place.

This is a personal pursuit from what I can tell. I wouldn't use any opinion or judgment from this person to reach any conclusion about "the Zig community". This is just unnecessary.
If this person can stick to these goals and keep maintaining the project (which I do highly doubt), I don't see how this can possibly be a bad thing.
