I think bun is moving to rust because Anthropic owns it and the devs there like rust. So why would they invest in another implementation? Sad to see a good zig example go, but as soon as Anthropic bought it I wrote the project off.

Somebody should revive the zig version of bun and call it banh as in the vietnamese banh mi sandwich :)

Bun has de-facto refused to use incremental compilation in Zig for ages. It got to the point where Jarred somehow seems to have forgotten that the feature exists.

In any case Bun has already committed to the Rust slop switch, so it doesn't matter anymore.

bun seems to be committed to slop rust already. so, with their ethic, maybe we should just disassociate them from zig and let them go realize their slop dreams?

zig is on its way to improving compilation times in its own pace and does so for the benefit of the project and everyone involved, so what is left to care for about bun by anthropic’s past?
