Who cares?
People who don’t want to run out of memory?
Are the Rust programmers who suffered from memory leaks through reference cycles in the room with you right now?

What are the standards for determining that? The most obvious benefit Rust can give them is being safe from memory leaks. This is hardly controversial: it has been a Zig design choice that memory leaks are the developer/user's responsibility. They have already demonstrated to have fixed several of those [0]. Marketing-wise, it has been an obvious success. Dunno if that matters. [0] https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust
> Marketing-wise, it has been an obvious success. Dunno if that matters. What's interesting tho it's that it can go from apparent marketing success to a big failure as the release keeps getting postponed.
Seems like they just released 1.4 though.

Thanks. Seems pretty innocent to me.
What does innocent even mean in this context? I don't care if it's innocent. It is. Naivy too. But millions of people use the system and were expecting stability, not it to be a random AI experiment.

It isn't LLMs in general, from what I can tell. It was how this port was done and communicated.
It was communicated fine, can you be more specific ?
No, it wasn't. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48019226

#136This reads as another weirdly personal attack against Jarred for slighting a technology stack the author prefers, citing the even weirder personal attack against Jarred written by Andrew Kelley as the sole source to justify their "biggest worry", code quality. Idk why people have become so invested in this.
Jarred has probably already sold his company for big $$$ and is set up for life whether the Bun rewrite succeeds or not. We will, however, be left to scour the ruins of the financial devastation if this goes sour.
> Jarred has probably already sold his company for big $$$
He _has_ sold, though. Anthropic purchased Oven back in Dec. 2025.
Or your probably was about whether it was big $$$ or not?

Indeed. This article didn't age well... I'm sure that the creator of the original piece will do a thoughtful self-analysis if they might have gotten something wrong, and make sure they didn't have any sort of unspoken bias in their thinking and writing!

It was a rhetorical question, actually.

So they are being more cautious and spending more time on polish after a never been done before historical massive rewrite...? Stop the press! They are not shipping as fast they used to! Omg!
> So they are being more cautious and spending more time on polish after a never been done before historical massive rewrite...? That's not credible at all. I mean, after a major release there are tons of low-priority low-hanging fruit issues that can be quickly sorted out. That's the nature of a release process. However, Bun stopped releasing anything. Even after lauding it's AI push,which can easily chomp through s…

It wasn't a question at all
