> As I recall, they picked Deno over Bun during the whole vibecoding rewrite fiasco from six months ago, and there wasn't a ton of explanation given beyond the general vibe of "ai bad".

Your comment is baffling. Either you lost track of the story or you've opted to post a very simplistic take on the whole Bun fiasco. Bun's ill-advised rewrite had zero technical grounds and the radical drop in release cadence in spite of all the AI backing suggests the project's foundation lays on shaky ground.

I don't think that's a good interpretation of what happened.

Bun's release cadence dropped because they had just ported to a new language and they weren't about to release that to their community without letting it settle in for a couple of months first - which they did, by running it in Claude Code on millions of computers.
