My question is moreso “why was it ever JS in the first place”
& the cost of a native rewrite would be cheaper than acquiring Bun no matter how you shake it

I hear some version of this anecdote constantly
yet despite using all these prompting tools since 2019 I have never once heard a lab or professional say “x model can do anything”
Can you provide me whatever specific source you heard for this?

Probably because it consumes the same APIs originally developed for a web app and the same front end engineers likely created Claude Code. People assume Anthropic set out to create Code as a product and went through a normal design phase. I think it’s more likely it started as an internal tool or someone’s side project and blew up as a product when they released it to the public.
