Not a single person on the Bun team nor Anthropic has yet done anything egregious to market this as anything but a swap to a more memory-safe language with better compiler guarantees.

Thus far most of the buzz and marketing has been entirely negative from people who are against AI.

My take is that most of the buzz is also tied to recent negative opinions of Anthropic themselves due to some of their recent decisions.

* Spend God knows how many dollars in unlimited tokens to do the rewrite

* Make a huge deal out of it how “Claude Code enabled Bun team to rewrite 1+ mil of Zig lines to Rust” and write a blogpost, VCs are salivating

* Basic checks fail

* Let Mythos rip the codebase to shreds, spend God knows how much more

* Write a separate blogpost

* Charlatans and smooth brains clap and defend against “delusional anti-AI mob”

* VCs orgasm even harder

Clap, clap, clap. That’s how you make money, folks.

And btw, we need to get rid of software engineers now.

I think it’s just a corporate rug pull. Anthropic’s needs are the sole priority, all others be damned.

Finally someone gets the point of this.

just as overhyped and disappointing?
