Anywhere where the correct Java version is installed correctly, important caveat
Java’s cardinal sin was not owning the OS like Microsoft’s C# to force end-users to update the framework. Oracle really didn’t understand what they were sitting on with their Ubuntu competitor Solaris.

But how is another company that is also VC backed and losing money providing stability for Bun? How long before we hear about “Our Amazing Journey”? On the other hand, I would rather see someone like Bun have a successful exit where the founders seem to have started out with a passion project, got funding, built something out they were excited about and then exit than yet another AI company by non technical founders…
Anthropic may be losing money, but a company with $7bn revenue run rate ( https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-dario-amodei-americ... ) is a whole lot healthier than a company with a revenue of 0.

Congrats on the payday :) Do you think Anthropic might request you implement private APIs?
This is an interesting question; not to be too naive, but are there examples in the wild about this scenario? First I’ve heard of private APIs for something open source like this and my interest is piqued!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is FUD. Java has many open source implementations and nobody needs to deal with Oracle.
Well except Google that got sued for US$8.8 Billion because they decided to use specific API signatures but provide their own implementation...?!

> Yeah, now they are part of Anthropic, who haven't figured out monetization themselves. Anthropic are on track to reach $9BN in annualised revenue by the end of the year, and the six-month-old Claude Code already accounts for $1BN of that.
Not sure if that counts as "figured out monetization" when no AI company is even close to being profitable -- being able to get some money for running far more expensive setups is not nothing, but also not success.
This just isn't the hard part of the product.
Like if I was building a Claude Code competitor and I acquired bun, I wouldn't feel like I had an advantage because I could get more support with like fs.read?

This is why we can't have nice things

I am more shocked about the origin story compared to the acquisition. > Almost five years ago, I was building a Minecraft-y voxel game in the browser. The codebase got kind of large, and the iteration cycle time took 45 seconds to test if changes worked. Most of that time was spent waiting for the Next.js dev server to hot reload. Why in the hell would anyone be using Next.js to make a 3D game... Jarred has always se…
Maybe same for anthropic, they can simply write agent using Rust/Go. Instead they decide to buy and develop a JavaScript runtime.
