One difference between programmer and engineer is that the programmer worries about what they do, while the engineer worries about not only about what they do, but about the platform their application run.

And you bringing the fringe entertainers of the illiterate Americans is totally unnecessary.

You're just speaking in truisms, and still have yet to assert anything at all. You sound more like a fringe entertainer and less like an engineer. You're, "just asking questions."

Are you an engineer? Make clear claims, and then back then up crisp and concrete arguments. Support your arguments with data. That's engineering.

What you're doing is wallowing in the outrage machine. Please start with your indepth understanding of the bun runtime that qualifies you to comment on the overall quality claims that you have not yet made but have insinuated.

Please clearly cite your concerns. Please present a cogent and articulate analysis of the overall shortcomings, gaps and potential threats of the bun rewrite.

Let's have an engineering discussion.

Practice what you preach. Because committing 1 million lines of unreviewed code is by definition not "engineering," and every single accusation you're making is the one you're guilty of.

And while you're at it, make your own argument. That's a skill required of any engineer.

Let’s have an engineering discussion? I am not the one that brought up Tucker Carlson to the conversation.

The maintainers have merged an enormous pull request in a week. They haven’t shown signs of understanding Rust. They are doing an experiment that can affect (via runtime bugs) to all bun users.
