that doesn't mean much. it has a lot of tests, the architect seems sane, it fits a niche (for example scripts baked into container images don't need full (Node + tsx + esbuild) or Bun/Deno)

Personally my benchmark for a compiler is way higher than "it has a lot of tests". Way higher.

the only group i noddingly approve of being that programmatically bigoted are the clojure-or-i'm-setting-myself-on-fire guys. they've earned it

tests don't mean much if you are not an expert on the subject

I think the bet is that the AI is an expert, given the vast literature and open source around compilers.
