Well it was 9 days ago, at the time they were not confident, but maybe the results were insanely good.

It seems it was an experiment at that moment, and that it went well? I do hope they release it under 2.x though, cannot imagine how a 1M LoC can break in so many ways, especially if what xiphias says is true: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48132902

There’s no way they can know that for sure. A change of this magnitude cannot go from experiment to success in such a short time frame. Even if all the code were 100% correct, you can’t call it a success until it’s battle tested in real world scenarios for a while, and that is impossible without time. Same way you can’t cook properly by throwing food into a vulcano. It’s not just about the temperature.
Either the “experiment” claim was a lie or they are being irresponsible.

#45“+1,000,000” changes in a single commit is insane.
The really interesting thing to do would be to ask the agents to submit the diff as a coherent patchset...

#47>No async rust. I wonder why does that deserve an explicit statement? Is there anything wrong with async rust?
I don't know their reasoning (not much Rust) but this was on the front page last week:
Async Rust never left the MVP state
