If LLMs can achieve this level of task in 9 days, why do we even need Bun in the first place? Shouldn't we just write our apps in Rust and not even deal with JS?

let's take a second to think about the threat vectors here. The two obvious ones I can think of are: "AI hallucinates and tells you to put non-food into the food" and "AI hallucinates and gives you unsafe prep instructio

Can this also affect stack usage? Like if `x` gets dropped before `y` is introduced, can `y` reuse `x`'s stack space (let's assume they are same size/alignment). Or does the compiler already do that if it can see that one is
