He plays around with a toy project in a separate branch, tells everybody to relax that's just an experiment that has no chance of being merged, then abruptly merges 1m lines of code not seen by a human, effectively zeroing out all the contributions ever made by anyone to bun, including contributions in progress.
At the same time, his arguments in favor of Rust are sound, there is no doubt about that.
>that's just an experiment that has no chance of being merged
Yeah he never said that.
> This whole thread is an overreaction. 302 comments about code that does not work. We haven’t committed to rewriting. There’s a very high chance all this code gets thrown out completely.

Is your reading comprehension poor? Where in that does it say it had no chance of being merged? Do you understand what an experiment and what the purpose of an experiment is ?
Here is him saying that in words that could be interpreted as ‘this is just an experiment’: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48019226
Right he said it was an experiment. Nowhere did he say there was no chance of it being merged. Do people not understand what an experiment is?
