Reason #2 is purely speculative. It’s disappointing to see technical decisions being made on such grounds.

What part of the recent history of vibe coded projects has not resulted in low quality, bug laden code? Dismissing this a "purely speculative" is just like dismissing the weather report as "purely speculative" when deciding what to wear in the morning.

Vibe coding from scratch is far from translating an existing app to another language.

I don't know any bad stories about ai-translated apps. Partially because it's a relatively new trend, but also because a big amount of usual vibe code fail modes are not applicable here.

There is quite the selection bias going on here... you aren't hearing about the successful projects.

With all the unprecedented investment and desperation behind it, these hypothetical LLM successes would be getting shoved down our throats.

Doesn’t bun have a massive test suite that the rewrite passes? What else do people want?

Low quality, bug laden code has existed long before LLMs and it'll continue to exist long after. Their rationale about avoiding future headaches could literally apply to any open source project they have a dependency on.

Oh well, I really like using Bun and I get kinda sad about the turn they are taking after the Anthropic acquisition. I really want a good Node with batteries included, but I don't want it vibe coded.

I think it's hilarious how hopeful people were at the acquisition that Bun would be able to continue on mostly as it had been but then that all got completely thrown away and trashed.

(Hilarious in the way that's terribly sad, of course.)

Say what you will about Rust vs Zig as languages, the Zig toolchain is definitely the easier of the two to integrate into another project.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the merits of the languages themselves, but rather with the rewrite being entirely vibe coded. If it had been from Rust to Zig instead of from Zig to Rust, I expect the exact same response would have happened.

As long as Deno support is still there I'm not sure why you need anything else. It's not vibe coded slop for one.

Well, apparently Deno is also a slop now: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/16766#issuecomment-4...

Deno's LLM contributions have been smaller in scope, so they're more likely to be reviewed by a human, and the codebase remains understood by its contributors. Can the same be said of Bun, which switched to an entirely different language in a single, million-line PR?[0]
