Changes to Zig can still be very significant. I found myself stuck between a rock and an hard place when I found out that:

- Zig v0.11 doesn't have async/await, which I needed, because they haven't implemented it yet on the self-hosted compiler;

- I couldn't use v0.10 due to some bugs with comptime in the old compiler, which are solved in v0.11.

Still, while bold, I don't think it's totally unwarranted to tag Bun 1.0. They may have to put some extra effort here and there to work around the language's instability.

This is not a critique of the Zig team, they make it very clear that the language is not ready for production use yet.
