    Bun, but managed by someone who values code quality? Sign me up. It’s a Herculean task, though.

    Very funny to see a "no humans allowed" contribution policy, and the absurd part is that the rationale actually makes sense.

    I'm interested to see where this goes. Is it possible to "deslop" something of this magnitude?

      As AI will only get better, accepting contributions can also be automated.

      The tendency is that open source will die as a collective effort, except for some hardcore stakeouts. AI will become the repository owner. The rest of us just doesn't care enough.

      This puts users in control.. just pay and you get your feature in a version generated just for you.

    Very interesting, but without an ecosystem I doubt this person can keep maintaining it long term. Bun users who don't care about slop will continue to use Bun, those who care will go back to Node.js, and there isn't much left for this project. It is a gigantic task to maintain a JS runtime and add features.
