<p>> This decision seems to based more in politics than engineering.<p>Project governance is very important on a project; the fact that Bun's authors bent the knee to their new owner shows where their priorities lie.<p>> Have you observed Bun have more segfaults, OOMs, etc, since the Rust rewrite? Have you noticed more security vulnerabilities? Have you seen more bugs?<p>I - them - are not going to sit around waiting for bugs to start crashing everything<p>> I don't select my engineering tools because they give me a bad feeling - I select them because they do the thing I want them to<p>Good thing that you don't run an open source project then, I would remove anyone's project from my dependencies who thinks like that.</p>

<p>> It’s always fascinating to see how Westerners idealize Japan<p>Replace 'Westerners' with Americans and you are spot on.<p>I have never met any European that glorifies any part of Japan (I'd see Asia as a whole), most of them will tell you how the tall buildings make them feel little and how the society is beyond oppressive.<p>Whatever meritocracy exists in capitalism is ironed out by those rigid hierarchies.<p>I am not sure what is appealing about Japan, Korea or any of these parts of the world, to me they are full of plastic, sugar and late stage capitalism that makes the Americans look as socialists.<p>I do strongly suspect that a certain type of male likes these places for reasons I cannot even hold in my mind for more than a few seconds.</p>

<p>It just seems to me that that Macbook Neo is basically them telling us that come next year they will unify iOS and MacOS and they are testing the waters at the moment.<p>All this version alignment, the blurring of "here is a laptop with A processor and iOS" points to that direction.<p>The errs of Tahoe are basically a result of the rush on that direction</p>
