> so...don't be convinced? Use Node if you prefer Node's governance style. Or Deno?

This is a thread full of people saying they aren't convinced and would prefer to use Node/Deno, and that was enough for you to call them entitled and shame them. Your comment doesn't really read like a FOSS advocate, it reads like you're running interference.

Whether you like it or not, Bun actually does care about carving out an audience, and this thread has a lot of useful feedback for them on how they run the project. When people are concerned about the stability of your runtime, if the best defense that can be mustered is "tough shit, it's free," that's damning in itself.

I also think you overestimate the Zig fandom. We could be talking about completely different languages and the response would be the same because it's not about the languages.

I'm not a "FOSS advocate". Honestly, I'm a believer in free software and strong copyleft licenses. Companies should be made to give back to the commons they so cavalierly strip mine. You will never gain my sympathy whining about oh no won't someone think of the poor profitmaking enterprises that depend on your free gifts.

There is a way to obtain software that comes with guaranteed stability and support and it's called a paid contract.

This is a completely off topic deflection. You make it sound like Bun rewrote the whole thing in Rust because they were financially in a corner, and if people just paid for free software, this wouldn't have happened.
