This is such a knee jerk reaction.
Yes, a slop rewrite into a competing language because you can't get your slop changes to the original language merged is a knee jerk reaction.

studies suggest nothing. i've released a massive number of features in the last year for several projects that i estimate would have taken me multiple years to put together in a much more mentally exhausting way.
Your drive-by comments are unwelcome. You can estimate all you want, but the data is collating, and it isn't within your worldview.
I am not estimating anything. This is my own evidence from my own projects. I have deployed gigantic features this past year, each of which would have taken me the whole year to write.

But there's no evidence of that in the post. If they had said something like "Bun had bugs X, Y and Z - this Rust thing is the last straw, it's over" -- that would be a reasonable decision, and no one could really complain. But they didn't say that. They just said it "seems like a future headache".
Are we reading the same post? They literally point to bugs X and Y. I don't see politics, I see frustrated maintainers of a hobby project that aren't particularly professional.
Maybe we aren't. I see two points of rationale:
- A single bug about EJS, which was fixed almost a year ago and has never regressed.
- Frustration that Bun was rewritten in Rust, which "seems like a future headache" - i.e. no evidence of current issues, just something which they suspect might have issues in the future.
If you see more evidence of more bugs that weren't fixed almost a year ago I'd be curious to see it.

Sometimes programs work because they rely on undefined behaviour. The users validate that. A famous quote: “we don’t break user space”
This quote comes from an old guy who can't seem to grasp the AI revolution and is manually programming some obscure shit in a language for old people.
You're literally able to write this because of all the obscure shit

And five engineers reviewing 20 thousand LoCs would get the job done in ten days, but both numbers are just as BS when it comes to actually understanding the codebase. No one is comprehensively reading 5k lines per day for a month straight.
Seriously, “just review 5k lines a day for a month” is the most out of touch manager suggestion I’ve seen in a hot minute. As though you only need to read each line one single time in a review before magically committing its exact purpose, content, and overall implications to memory. The absurdity of which is multiplied for AI generated code which, based on what I see from my coworkers, is clunkier and weirder and le…
This is not a regular code review of new code. The original code still exists, and is sitting side by side, just in a different language.
You'd be just looking at both files, side by side, to make sure nothing was lost in translation or newly introduced.
