Bun getting rewritten in Rust is not really the counter point you think it is. The rust version hasn't shipped yet, so there hasn't even been a chance to see if the code can be maintained. It's an impressive feat no doubt, but until they've maintained it on a months to years timeline, it's also just talk with no evidence.

Sigh. I'm sorry you're scared of AI. I hope you find happiness in your life and something else to replace your identity with once AI completely eclipses your utility in society as a coder.

Right, it's still a datapoint. There's blurry and not completely substantiated datapoints from both sides. We don't have a full picture... we have a blurry picture.

The issue is a lot of people form definitive conclusions from blurry data. I'm challenging that type of bias. For example: How the hell do we know LLMs produce code that LLMs can't maintain? Like did you actually try it? And what about the instances where it worked? I don't think the answer is as clean/cut as yes/no. Even if we had data, most likely the data will be contradictory data in the sense that some AI projects worked, some descended into slop.
