You mean except the bugs in the zig version and any future CVEs?

This is the exact reason I stopped using Bun for new projects. Terrible project governance. TS 7 is a good example of what a responsible team that cares about their users should have done.

Is there a way to try it without using your Google account or giving them your phone number?

Without new models how would AI companies compete then? Other features can easily be copied (eg Claude Code, ChatGPT, etc). If AI services are a commodity then they can only compete on price.

I've been using Photoshop since CS1 (was a Corel user before that). Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 were the last good versions. Very snappy and with probably 99% of the features I use today. Every…

Inference is probably the cheapest part of it all. The buildings will last for years, decades even, but the GPUs need to be replaced every 2-3 years in perpetuity.

Why does Mozilla keep diluting their efforts into stuff like AI? From the outside it looks like they barely have resources to keep Firefox competitive.

If precision is important then non deterministic AI is simply not a good tool.

> it’s increasingly difficult to maintain these projects without AI It's pretty much impossible in a project of this size. IIRC Postgres has over 1M loc.

Well either Claude cannot fix those bugs or it can but the Bun team decided to not fix those bugs on purpose. Not sure which is worse.

Who in their right mind would immediately migrate their production apps into a complete re-write of a runtime? It would be naive to think there aren't new bugs or changes in behavior introduced i…

Personally I don't care that they used AI to rewrite Bun to Rust. Even if 1.4 is not good enough it will probably get better over time. What has pushed me back to Node is seeing how amateurish th…

I've been impacted by a couple of bugs in Bun.SQL and lo and behold these were only fixed for 1.4. Presumably Claude could have fixed those in the Zig version but the Bun team decided to not do t…

> Compiler errors are a better feedback loop than a style guide So essentially this whole re-write was about making Bun LLM compatible.

what about new bugs introduced after the rewrite?

It's very cool to see the JS ecosystem reducing dependencies and I hope this trend continues. Astro has gone from 247 deps in v6 to 190 in v7. https://node-modules.dev/#install=as…

Looks like Microsoft is desperate for more cash to burn on AI and making drastic decisions like this. Sure the Xbox division wasn't doing amazing but still had $24B of revenue in 2025. For refere…
