Can you cite a single software project with so many users which did a language migration in a more cavalier way?

This assumes that the memory safety bugs in the unsafe Rust port are the same as the Zig codebase. A total rewrite with so little review is virtually guaranteed to introduce many new bugs which very well may be more severe than the old bugs.

The phrasing strongly implies that they are taking the migration seriously and carefully. Merging straight to canary after 9 days is insane.

The rewrite was obviously done lightly.

My bullshit alarms were blaring at this line. They really think we are that stupid.

Contrary to benchmarks, open weight models are way behind the frontier.

Fair - my "millions" note is wrt SpaceX filing with the FCC to launch 1 million satellites, and the Google viability study deals with large constellations rather than monolithic stations. Public communications from companies purporting to go into orbital data centers have made every appearance that they think virtually all compute can go to space.

It's highly doubtful the malware authors hadn't already figured out what went wrong by the time this was published.

Per the Zen of Python, there should always be exactly one sensible way to do something, but unfortunately this is not often the case. List comprehension can be achieved just the same with functools, itertools, explicit for loops, etc.

That said, I do tend to have that mantra a little more present in my head when I'm working with Python.

Much easier, the equivalent C would be in the area of 15-20 statements

I was surprised to learn that this has got to be one of the only languages which is easier to compile than interpret. When compiled the language reduces to basically a single-register assembly with a one-to-one character-to-line ratio. Bracket branching can be extremely easily implemented with jump labels and `test` + `jnz` statements without having to worry about things like parsing and jump table construction at all.
