@lain @icedquinn @phnt @s8n project culture is a very real thing and everybody has convictions. there's always a margin where you'll refuse +0.5% productivity on principle, ditto +5000% productivity.
this is why we have forks! forking a project can help it continue when the culture is no longer conducive to the project's spirit. if zig happens to be in the hands of people who care deeply about not accepting ai contributions, i don't want or need the project reft from their hold or anything. i can just operate a fork.
which is what bun is doing, which is why bun/zig is going to go places zig/zig isn't.

@phnt @HatkeshiatorTND @icedquinn @s8n i do think drive-by LLM contributions of significant features can be hard for projects. In the future there probably has to be a lot more coordination between maintainers and new contributors. But this will all fizzle out. Many huge projects by now just ignore all PRs that don't from either a core member or are obviously valuable, which is fine. On the other hand, many people run their own forks of stuff with tons of added features that will never find their way back, because that's also easy now. It's more of a move to personal software instead of community software.
