Incidentally, Claude Code has been very buggy for me lately (much more so than before). Lots of TUI rendering issues causing, e.g., the conversation history to be garbled etc.

>Literally who cares what language a JS toolset is written in? Maybe you're being coy by asking a rhetorical question you already know the answer to but I'll answer as if you asked sincerely... There are 2 different groups interacting with software products: (1) end-users : this is where the "Who cares what language it's written in?!?" is usually applicable. E.g. The finance guys using MS Excel don't care whether it'…
What about Group x. You just AI generated 1 millions lines of code claiming it's for safety. Who exactly is to make any kind of security guarantees about this?
All the emotion of speculations aside, how it runs? It boots faster yeah, but what about RAM and CPU usage? Weird dead loop or dead locks? If it run as good as before or even better, then that's kinda impressive. I'm a developer so I really don't like it when AI might took my job, but if everyone on this planet could create a software for themselves exactly as how they wanted with just a few simple demands, that will…
Incredibly naive take when these models are closed behind (for now subsidized) paywalls.
This "democratization" argument is so nauseating, seems like the Bun port to Rust as a marketing piece (the primary motivator) sold it well!

It’s made absolutely no negative difference, as we’ve seen in the real world in the last 60 days since the merge. I feel weird having to defend reality; reality being that it was merged nearly 2 months ago and tons of people have had their pitchforks out without a shred of actual evidence that this made bun worse in any measurable way. But they still insist it was a mistake. I’ve never met Jared or the bun team but I…
The crux is: > What is the governance structure for Bun by the way? Couldn't find any documents/explanations about how it's supposed to work. I'm guessing it's essentially just "Anthropic decides what gets done and accepted" today? And this is a valid question. You are not "defending reality" by refusing to listen to it. In summary and based solely on my understanding: - Jared misled people about the intentions of th…
Similar to the Claude Code 60s timeout incident [1] it could just be "Jarade decides what gets done and accepted"

What is actually going on with that tag? It has files uploaded in Jul 29, 2024 and files uploaded "6 hours ago" (some hours after Simon first published his blog post). Do they not do proper releases with immutable tags and instead use one tag kind of like a git branch that mutates and changes over time?

Why does changing to Rust kill the project? I don't understand the point here.

This is even more interesting given that prewar Bun was not a well respected code base. This matters if the code was bad, were the tests bad / not comprehensive as well? If so, the translation to rust whose sole / primary target was test-passing will have a fair amount of undocumented bugs in it.

The port of Bun, which has >5000 open github issues, is used in Claude Code, which has >11000 open github issues. Do people use Bun in things that are expected to work reliably? Have any such projects tried the upgrade yet?
11k in two years vs 5k in two weeks? You're right, numbers speak for themself.

People shouldn’t overthink blog posts. Just write what’s on your mind and have fun.
The motivation is obviously clear. No-one would be doing that for fun 24/7, only covering about AI and nothing else without getting paid for it. If anyone else did that on HN, they would be accused of slop with their domain blacklisted.
Knowing Simon - he’s very much both :)

I am impartial on the matter, but I think one of the reasons Bun became a thing in the first place was because of Zig attracted a small but very active developer community. Switching from Zig to Rust effectively alienates that community.
