Also worth noting that the post argues against the trade with ants analogy.

Randomization
A randomized variant of the BML traffic model, called BML-R, was studied in 2010.[9] Under periodic boundaries, instead of updating all cars of the same colour at once during each step, the randomized model performs
L
2
{\displaystyle L^{2}} updates (where
L
{\displaystyle L} is the side length of the presumably square lattice): each time, a random cell is selected and, if it contains a car, it is moved to the next cell if possible. In this case, the intermediate state observed in the usual BML traffic model does not exist, due to the non-deterministic nature of the randomized model; instead the transition from the jammed phase to the free flowing phase is sharp.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xm55llyxcrb3h7qwqr3wtaog/bafkreigrgiqb76swcgszqr5llwyvak6ayxc557drx5d4xvxmdw4qwb3qki)

I work on Bun and this is my branch
This whole thread is an overreaction. 302 comments about code that does not work. We haven’t committed to rewriting. There’s a very high chance all this code gets thrown out completely.
I’m curious to see what a working version of this looks, what it feels like, how it performs and if/how hard it’d be to get it to pass Bun’s test suite and be maintainable. I’d like to be able to compare a viable Rust version and a Zig version side by side.
