This is promising for Astral et al who I really like but worried about their sustainability. It does point to being as close to the user as possible mattering.
I don't really see how Bun fits as an acquisition for an AI company. This seems more like "we have tons of capital and we want to buy something great" than "Bun is essential to our core business model".
As someone who have been using Deno for the last few years, is there anything that Bun does better? Bun seems to use a different runtime (JSC) which is less tested than V8, which makes me assume it might perform worse in real-world tasks (maybe not anymore?). The last time I checked Bun's source code, it was... quite messy and spaghetti-like, plus Zig doesn't really offer many safety features, so it's not that hard t…
Is Claude Code the first CLI tool to have a $1BN ARR?
This graph from the SemiAnalysis blog suggests that GitHub Copilot reached it earlier this year: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BGEe!,f_auto,q_auto:...
Very direct, very plain and detailed. They cover all the bases about the why, the how, and what to expect. I really appreciate it.
Best of luck to the team and hopefully the new home will support them well.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Looks like they are acquiring the team rather than the product
No, they're clearly acquiring the technology. They're betting Claude Code on Bun, they have an invested interest in the health of Bun.

It has wayyyyy better nodejs compatibility (day 1 goal)
Hope nobody buys Astral or Python is f*cked.
What matters: it's staying open source and MIT licensed. I sincerely hope it stays that way. Congrats to the Bun team on making a great tool and getting the recognition they deserve. > Being part of Anthropic gives Bun: Long-term stability. Let's see. I don't want to always be the downer but the AI industry is in a state of rapid flux with some very strong economic headwinds. I wouldn't confidently say that hitching…
Nothing gives you long term stability in tech. You have to constantly work at staying stable, and it isn't always up to anything the company is in control of, no matter what ownership they have.
Sure. But everything is relative. For instance, Node has much more likelihood of long term stability than Bun, given its ownership.
So many of the issues with it seem to be because ... they wrote the damn thing in JavaScript?
Claude is pretty good at a constrained task with tests -- couldn't you just port it to a different language? With Claude?
And then just ... the huge claude.json which gets written on every message, like ... SQLite exists! Please, please use it! The scrollback! The Keyboard handling! Just write a simple Rust or Go or whatever CLI app with an actual database and reasonable TUI toolkit? Why double down and buy a whole JavaScript runtime?
