I wrote a couple high-profile projects in Java (using a proper language on android was a PITA), that still hang on even if Java is relegated to Enterprise and low-cost Indian developers. I'm sure Zig will survive, althoughbeit it might get less mindshare and fewer people who know it (though I assume picking up Zig is easier for anyone you recruit for $DAYJOB than e. g. prolog, which I had to learn for a job).

Day 387 of coping positively reinforcing the abject certainty that I VILL get a job writing SBCL :optimistic:
 
The bun rewrite to rust just got merged

> +1009257 -4024
It compiles, ship it. The absolute state of AI sloppers

Edit: i find it double funny that github is shitting itself trying to show the PR page. We're so fucked

I hope someone makes a prominent (and good) fork that does away with this horrible rewrite, not because of any AI pearl clutching, but because of just how poorly the standards for coding has become if this is allowed for a major project.

Bun was never good. It's been owned by anthropic and merging unreviewed slop for a long time, and even without that, the people behind merging this 1m LOC AI port are the same people that have always been behind the project.

For the record, the AI port also benefits from exactly none of rust's safety features because it is a transliteration, not a proper port. From what I've seen, claude just brute forced things like unsafe pointer-to-ref casts everywhere which defeats the purpose entirely. It likely also introduced undefined behavior via things like aliased &mut refs which are not undefined in zig.
Code: 
$ rg 'unsafe \{' --stats

1M lines of unreviewed AI transliteration that does not even attempt to follow patterns, best practices or guidelines of the target language ...

That sounds like a completely unmaintainable and undecipherable pile of shit.
Who is going to audit or fix bugs in that codebase?
Not a human that is for sure.

I pray for the souls of any humans that would ever need to have to read or work on that codebase.
