Ah, yes, the "you're holding it wrong" defense. If one tool has a higher safety rating than another, significantly so, preventing entire classes of mistakes from happening that the other does not, in a kind of superset manner - even the most skilled craftsman will inevitably make mistakes that would have been prevented by the safer tool.
replyIt's very possible to write dogshit rust code.
replyYes, but you really have to go out of your way to segfault/ run afoul of memory safety issues, which are a pain in the ass to debug.
replyI think the main problem with Bun is that they are trying to move very quickly.
replyTigebeetle devs spend 90% time working on stability, safety, tests and so on. They don't need new features, they need reliable software. Their database is pretty simple in terms of features and their goal was always stability and speed. Bun devs spend the majority of the time adding new features.
Maybe they should put more consideration towards quality if they have a ton of memory issues.
replyThat's what they're doing.
reply> This just sounds like they are not good at using Zig.
replyThat's odd, because of the visibility of team Bun using the language, one would think they could get whatever help and guidance they asked for. Seems weird for team Bun to complain about crashes, leaks, and bugs if they could have what they are doing wrong explained to them or their issues fixed in a timely manner.
Not sure if ghostty is the best example https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-memory-leak-fix
