You seem to have very little clue about development for the guy who wrote NATS.

I know that one of the reasons of open source is auditing. That does not change the fact that the reason why we encoded it is to SECURE our property. If we did not do that we could not have licensed it and everyone could have stolen our ideas. Why would anyone let that happen in a commercial environment?
From how you talk, you must be some open-source-lover. Do you read through the source of every single program you want to use before actually using it?
BTW, if open-source is there to have apps run "flawless"... I wonder why the heck there are new security holes found in open source apps every day. Does not seem to help much that great open-source idea, huh?
Of course, you will now come and say "but non-open-source apps have even more holes".....
