You said you didn't want to bring it up again (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34675866). Please don't.
We are talking about two projects (zig and bun), likely years before 1.0, and you complain they're not perfect, or improving on your timeline. Projects improve security and quality by increasing adoption and thus human resources available for auditing and fixes. You seem to be advocating against adoption, or presuming current users are uninformed about the project's status.
My hobbyist-level interactions with the zig community indicated nothing by calm professionalism and enthusiasm for quality software.
This is tangential to your main point, but the post we're commenting on says this:
> Bun 1.0 is coming on September 7th!
Are we going to come back to this thread in a month and see all these comments of his anonymized too?
I have no dog in this fight as I don't use Bun or Zig nor do I plan on it, but from another outsiders perspective, he definitely seems to have a grudge against Zig and Andrew and is trying to play victim over it.
Your pull request was rejected because it wasn’t the direction the language wanted to go.
You keep saying that zig people don’t wish to reconcile privately, but looking at your posts, it’s clear why they’ve stopped engaging with you.
Two years ago you found a utf8 decoding function in the stdlib that asserted in its documentation that it expects valid utf8. You then went on a Zig community on Discord and started saying that it's a vulnerability because if you feed it invalid utf8, the function will not work correctly. People told you that, well, that's part of the function contract, but you didn't want to hear it and went to post everywhere that Zig doesn't take security seriously (actual quote from you). People also tried to explain to you that a function that does validate the encoding would be welcome, but that since Zig was a new programming language, we didn't have one yet and that for now that's what the stdlib offered (ie the function that expects valid utf8). In the meantime somebody else did implement the better API but, two years later, you're still here fixated on that same thing.

> Just strange the Zig team refuses to reconcile this privately and instead resorts to berating me on HN of all places.
From my perspective the best outcome would be that you somehow realize how silly this entire thing is and finally let go. For more complex situations I could understand having an "agree to disagree" conclusion, but given the incredibly ridiculous nature of this specific issue I don't think there's much more for anybody else to learn.
If the above can't happen then I would ask you simply to stop posting misinformation about Zig.
