Let's return to Jarred's stated reasons for migration: the Zig codebase had too many use-after-free bugs, double-frees, and memory leaks on error paths.
This is true. But the conclusion that "Zig doesn't work" drawn from this diagnosis is wrong.
The correct diagnosis is: in a commercial project that prioritizes rapid iteration, the cognitive tax of manual memory management exceeded the team's budget. This isn't a bug in Zig – it's a structural mismatch between Zig's design goals and Bun's business model.
