I am not saying anything about the viability of that particular project; just that one argument that was repeatedly made in that thread which I think is frankly nuts.

Yeah. I guess what I'm saying is that I feel like we're all still stuck debating these things on technical merits alone. The `bun` rewrite and `pgrust` both expose something -- I find, at least! -- uncomfortable about how we understand the technical side of our profession, but I think the social side remains the same.
