Side note, but I think using LLMs like this to write PoCs in existing projects is actually a good idea to prove whatever you had in mind is feasible and worth it to pour time into. Obviously you need to not vibecode the entire thing once you're past that point though...

Even if AI had not been used, the changes would not have been upstreamed, see https://ziggit.dev/t/bun-s-zig-fork-got-4x-faster-compilatio... tl;dr the supposed improvements are not sound and the zig compiler has already gotten a whole lot faster

Interesting, I've seen a bunch of people actually praise modern COBOL.
