That comment doesn't say all bugs have been fixed, or even quickly fixed. When I check on the posted links, many are in fact still open, e.g.

I don't get these complaints about `sum!(a, a)`. Sure it's a bit of a footgun that you can overwrite the array you are working with. This doesn't rise to a "major problem" of composability.

The histogram errors seem annoying though. Hopefully they can get fixed.

Sure, it's unsurprising that it produces unexpected results, but there are actually semantics that should be expected. The problem is that implementing those semantics correctly for all cases is hard, because aliasing. Same issue that e.g. memcpy() vs memmove() have.
