the problem with Deno is probably because of the lack of npm packages compatibility.
When's the last time you used Deno? I've had more npm packages succeed in Deno than in Bun. npm-compatibility hasn't been a problem for years

I for one think it's a fascinating experiment to see how well it goes. Though if it actually works and leads to bun getting better over the coming months, I suspect the arguments against it will just take on a different flavor.
Of course they will, the goalposts will keep shifting because people don't want to admit that agents are now this capable.
Giant slop-filled PR (that will power future slop-generation) has caused slop-coded Github to stop loading properly. The Anti-Singularity is approaching ever quicker!

They never denied they'd switch, just that they'd need solid improvements confirmed before they switched. Clearly internally they've decided they've seen the gains necessary to carry on with the switch
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48019226 > This whole thread is an overreaction. 302 comments about code that does not work. We haven’t committed to rewriting. There’s a very high chance all this code gets thrown out completely I know words are hard , but if you find it hard to believe any humans here, then feed it into your favorite LLM.
I know reading the second line of your quote is hard...
The follow-up PR removing the zig source files being auto-tagged by bun's own CI as "ai slop" is so funny https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30680
That was me - not CI marking as slop. It kept around 60 .zig files around that should’ve been moved to .rs files.

It has 10k unsafe blocks, pretty sure those segfaults are still gonna be there
Definitely. That's what a good translation is. But then, agents can work on removing each unsafe one by one and this will bubble issues.
Where are all the guys in the Hacker News comments who have been explaining how bad LLMs are?
LLMs bad¹ ² ³ ⁴ -- ¹ when they empower idiots who vibe features with no regard for tech debt ² in a long run when they are used without human oversight ³ even on trivial tasks when results can't be reliably verified (f.ex. tests coverage) ⁴ the above list is not exhaustive, but outlines main points which should be easily recoverable (by any person smarter than a house spider) from the context of discussions involving…

> so...don't be convinced? Use Node if you prefer Node's governance style. Or Deno? This is a thread full of people saying they aren't convinced and would prefer to use Node/Deno, and that was enough for you to call them entitled and shame them. Your comment doesn't really read like a FOSS advocate, it reads like you're running interference. Whether you like it or not, Bun actually does care about carving out an audi…
I'm not a "FOSS advocate". Honestly, I'm a believer in free software and strong copyleft licenses. Companies should be made to give back to the commons they so cavalierly strip mine. You will never gain my sympathy whining about oh no won't someone think of the poor profitmaking enterprises that depend on your free gifts . There is a way to obtain software that comes with guaranteed stability and support and it's cal…
This is a completely off topic deflection. You make it sound like Bun rewrote the whole thing in Rust because they were financially in a corner, and if people just paid for free software, this wouldn't have happened.
