They also moved to Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/ziglang ❤️

I, for one, am glad they are volunteering as guinea pigs in an experiment to see how long a popular project can survive LLM slop.

And if they harm javascript's popularity in the process and projects start to look elsewhere... that's an added benefit ;-)

There's no way a million lines of code were reviewed in 11 days. Not by a human at least.

What a waste of resources for an unreviewed and unmaintainable pile of junk.

How much is one million lines of code?

If a senior engineer works in a well-defined, well-architected greenfield project, and does extensive tests, 10,000 lines of code written in one year are very productive. The amount of new code per person-year will be much less in larger projects - a good indicator is the line count and the estimated value of the Linux kernel (40 million lines in 2025, redeveloping it in 2011 would have already cost 2200 million Euros, which would pay e.g. 36000 person-years for mid-level German software developers, that would mean 1111 lines per person-year{actually about half of that because of the interim growth of line count in the meantime }- and most software projects can only dream about so much actual value.)

So, you can say 1,000,000 lines of code generated in 11 days are probably 100 person-years of technical debt.

One caveat: It is relatively simple to auto-translate code in restricted languages like Java, Python, or Rust to unrestricted languages like C or C++. In that case, enforced invariants (like "no use of freed memory" or "sharing data across threads xor mutation") become implicit, but verbatim translation is often possible.

The other direction will require a re-design..

Kelley is artisan, Sumner is a factory manager. Indeed they cannot be using same tools or work on the same floor or within the same building. Blind trust in AI (even with guardrails) is a recipe for disaster. They have jumped to Rust to add more guardrails to their AI lunacy but it won't hold for long. At this point there's no single human who actually knows or understands the code and AI code is proven to have durability issues at scale. So direct rewrite gives a quick boost as code is ported from somewhat reviewed base onto new platform, but as new code gets added this will dissipate. It sounds like Bun issue is systemic Zig Rust or Pixie dust won't fix it.

I'll never update Bun again. And maybe I'll just revert back to Npm.

What a shit show.

Since we introduced claude enterprise, number of unexpected bugs skyrocketed tremendously
