It looks like quite a lot of analysis went into the rewrite

If the tests pass, then why not accept the rewrite?
An interesting article of Prisma using the rewrite:

So either "tests pass" does not include unit tests or unit tests were rewritten probably by the same AI that is doing the rewrite!
For a JS engine that's Test 262: https://github.com/tc39/test262
For node that's its unit tests which are mostly JS: https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/main/test
Node also runs the web platform tests too: https://web-platform-tests.org/
Bun has a similar large corpus of JS/TS tests: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/main/test
You're right about general purpose rewrites, but language runtimes are a lot easier.
Literally just prompted for an LLM to review it and asked for a fancy presentation. That is not "quite a lot of analysis". That is anything but.

Because (1) tests passing are absolutely not a guarantee that no regressions were introduced in a change, and (2) even if they were, those tests are the result of thousands of hours of human labour, which is all well and good for the codebase as it currently exists, but who is going to be writing the tests for the 1m loc repo of unread code in the future? Unless you've proven that specifically LLM-generated tests can prevent all possible regressions, you're condemning the future of the project because nobody will be able to continue writing robust tests.
You are also assuming one prompt, and then arguing against your assumptions with zero evidence. It is lazy arm chair criticism.
Because it hasn't been released yet (at least not outside of some unstable branches). You can find some criticism of the actual slop here though: https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1t4033y/buns_rewrite_...
I’m curious if that matters if humans are never going to even read this code?
If by never even read you don't include attaching a debugger to solve an issue. 1,000 global mutable variables would make debugging anything an absolute nightmare.
Do you seriously think that in a decade we'll all still have our agents writing code in the same architectures that we were using a few years ago?
That's why Jared didn't consider using it for Bun even if it's undeniably better, they don't have human resources to support it
