As an outside observer without any connection to any of these project I'd recommend that you step back from posting strongly held negative opinions and reflect on your biases and assumptions here. It sounds like you are unreasonably disgruntled against zig and derailing tangentially related threads, then claiming unwarranted victimhood.

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!

As another outsider, I think junon's comments are valid and could easily be addressed by the Zig project. Who are you to tell them to stop posting?

I find it rather odd that junon's constantly bringing up this security issue for the past 6+ months in all threads that are even in the same neighborhood as Zig, acknowledges that maybe his conversations should go private enough that he asks Dang to anonymize his past public comments so they aren't associated with him.... Just to repeatedly do it again.

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.

Please observe that in my post I only recommend reflection, and describe how their communication sounds like to me. Seems like I'm not the only one. I am specifically trying to avoid the overtly adversarial language of telling someone off, or telling them what to think or do, so please don't ascribe that unnecessarily.
