#2I suspect that an experiment is being run. In any case, that'll be a hell of a story!
Re: Zig → Rust porting guide
#3Why? Are there particular reasons that the maintainers of Bun feel the need to attempt to migrate from Zig to Rust?
Re: Zig → Rust porting guide
#4So I can't tell if the linked commit is an actual attempt or just an experiment but it did always strike me as odd to make a JS runtime in Zig when my impression was there were a lot of work-stopping compiler bugs at the time.

#5Interesting to see this when the current top post on HN is someone worrying about Bun as it was acquired by Anthropic. The top comment there describes “Anthropic does experiments on their own codebase, the Bun team is not gonna do the same vibe coding experiments”.
Yet here we are, what looks like a massive undertaking for vibe coding.
Time will tell how this will turn out. Would be nice if the Bun maintainers could give some clarification about what they’re doing here, and why they’re doing this.

Probably an experiment due to Bun's PRs to Zig being rejected (Zig does not allow AI use). If Rust works well enough, and the alternative is maintaining a fork of Zig, I'd guess they'd go with Rust.

Porting from one typed language to another seems like a perfect use for LLMs. I can see the appeal of both languages and why to consider such an action (e.g., rust is a mainstream PL vs zig's cult status (no slight intended)).

I imagine claude is better at Rust than Zig?

#9"Claude, migrate bun to Rust, make no mistakes"
Re: Zig → Rust porting guide
#10you can use both zig and rust in a single project, duh
