You don't even have to leave this site: when the original Bun rewrite posts were made, an incredible number of comments were focused, not on Bun, but on Jarred, who I'm assured is a complete rockstar and would never harm Bun.

Unfortunately, his followers don't realize that something like a batteries-included runtime is a huge commitment to build on top of, and governance you can trust matters as much, if not more, than the lines of code.

The way this has been handled is just baffling. A Rust rewrite is supposed to be a freebie for hype, and even an AI rewrite could have been interesting if approached more scientifically and transparently... but instead the opposite of that happened.
