I shouldn't be surprised though, of course. Giving any credit or slack to a high-valuation LLM company is a silly endeavor.
Author here: An apology on the graphs, they just count rust files touched in commits, not total commits. So if there were two commits and one touched 3 .rs files and another touched 2, it'd be counted as 5 for the purposes of the graphs. I may fix this later but, yeah.
what kind of difference from the actual numbers does it result in?

This post doesn’t make sense. It was rewritten in Rust. The rewrite itself is complete (no more Zig). Various people have claimed that Bun in Zig had a lot of tech debt. If they’re to be believed, it seems natural to assume the rewrite does, too. Perhaps all this activity is paying down some of that debt.
Hence, the author concludes that rust rewrite is not complete as bun in rust is not released yet.
I agree with author's POV.

> Perhaps all this activity is paying down some of that debt. Perhaps. But were that the case, one would think they'd be quite eager to say so.
Are you expecting them to live-tweet their work or something?

Many repeat the point of “$165k is cheaper than team of multiple engineers working on the rewrite for a year”, which I think is flawed — the team of engineers would have produced idiomatic rust, and it would take probably 100k+ of tokens more to make the bun in rust idiomatic rust.
I use more (albeit cached) when centering a div.

Jared and the other developers are new to the Rust codebase, even if the structure is largely familiar. They're also likely focusing on other priorities right now such as tracking down instances of 'unsafe', rather than making user-facing changes (which might encourage a release).
Bugfixes could encourage rapid new releases, but perhaps the rewrite simply hasn't been very buggy? As far as I know, those on the canary channel haven't reported any major issues, or even really noticed the change. So perhaps there's little reason for new releases right now, as the team slowly churns through the backlog.

I always assumed those were just experiments in capability, and weren't meant to be ongoing projects. I would hope that nobody is using them directly today.
