Hoping that an AI rewrite is thrown out.

You may even be an OK programmer, but IF YOU AREN'T ABLE TO DO THE WORK I DON'T WANT TO USE IT.

Not worth your time? Not worth my time.

Most of Bun’s code is already written by LLMs. If you feel that way, it’s already been too late for a while. Furthermore, we’re talking about a million line port done in a couple of days. The question of whether it’s worth the time looks extremely different if done by hand. It would take a year.

The "too late" argument isn't gonna fly with someone like me who has both the time and energy to own a Javascript runtime. Heck, I'm quickly becoming the most prolific author of the ES spec too.

Cool. Fork it and maintain your own runtime, then. Why are you complaining about what the bun team does with their project?

Cause I'm sick of this amateur hour shit

From what I'm reading, it's too late for Bun. I hear the whole dev stream is slop now. It was nice while it lasted, but that's not a foundation to build rock-solid stuff on top of. Not for me, not for them, not for anyone.

Then show it wrong by making something people want to use more instead. If it's too difficult then the existing project must not be very amateur.
