I mean aside from the somewhat...dishonest statements from the people involved, giving false explanations is one thing, but calling people who smelled this "overreacting" gives this a weird taste.

I am neutral on such a rewrite itself, there are pros and cons to the whole "rewrite in Rust" topic. People are making decent arguments. But the way the initiator here reacted makes it seem like the Bun team itself thinks they are doing something weird here...

Guess reviewing any code isn't exactly their thing either anymore? And I guess adjusting the tests themselves is certainly one way to make things pass.

Ultimately this just seems like it was done specifically to make Bun more "ai friendly". Whether it turns out good or not that appears to be the motivation behind it.
