> I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues

There are legit reasons to rewrite a program in a better fitting language, but as a runtime to be "tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability" is really borderline to me.

Also there are way more things to it than just compile time and tests: you reset mental model and will lose contributers. There is philosophy, developer skill and more attached to a language.

In this case both compile via LLVM the same and there is no performance benefit given the code is written exactly the same, so it’s developer preference, where the current head seemed to prioritize his own DX over everyone else’s.

But again this is mainly my gut feeling. I’m not the first dev that doesn’t like the way bun changes : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48011184
