edit: There's also nub which is built on top of Node.js and removes some rough/legacy edges: https://github.com/nubjs/nub
Apart from pro-AI or anti-AI posturing how have the last few months not looked good for Bun, exactly? I use it daily and I've seen basically zero regressions. I get it, you don't like AI or you like Zig over Rust, or whatever. I just haven't seen any serious argument that Bun has somehow become worse software.
> The project has over 5k open pull requests, which is the largest number of pull requests I’ve seen.
Terrible argument, and not really an argument at all.
> The biggest worry is, of course, the code itself.
I agree, so look at the code and point out what's wrong with it.
Insofar as Andrew Kelley is concerned, it's obvious he has an axe to grind and is salty about Bun embarassing Zig (which he freely admits). Not sure why you'd invoke an unreliable narrator as some sort of final nail in the coffin.
Idk why people have become so invested in this.
> Unused code is one issue. A project called Buz[1] found over 11,000 lines of dead code from the Rust port. [1]: https://github.com/jazzzooo/buz
When in fact Buz is a fork of the pre-Rust Zig version of Bun.
The OP has no credibility.
Your whole scientific endeavor in this seemed to thrive on the rock solid foundation of tweets.
And all those referencing of the Kelly post makes this even more of a clickbait. All you had was to put all the ingredients of a post that will draw the crowd but offer very little on the subject matter it purported to discuss
The article lists various promised release dates, are they incorrect?
> Our conclusion is deliberately modest: under the conditions Prisma Compute cares about, the Rust rewrite behaved better than the stable release we had been testing. That was enough to change what we shipped.
- I have a couple of projects that handle images. I was including Sharp, but since these are side projects in a small VM, often a redeploy that recompiled Sharp just crashed the full VM (out of memory). Bun includes Bun.Image[1] natively, which is built around Sharp's API, so swapping Sharp out was very easy, and now deploys are a breeze (and swapping it in would be just as easy).
- Bun's JSX support is a godsend. I've replaced almost all my side projects that were backend rendered from Pug, Handlebars, and other various templates I used to have to just pure JSX. Heck, this made it trivial to make a side projects where the Favicon was a dynamic SVG [2]

Have you tried 1.4?
A bizarre accusation. It's a fork of Bun that says they removed the dead code. All you have to do to see the diffs is look at its history. Most of the commits are code removal.
It's a fork of Zig bun, though, not Rust, so hardly relevant to the AI argument.
> Buz is an early-stage experimental fork of pre-Rust Bun.... Over 11,000 lines of dead code removed from upstream Bun.
The article answers this. hint: they're not shipping.
> I get it, you don't like AI or you like Zig over Rust, or whatever
The article doesn't argue for either of these. hint: it's arguing that the team is not shipping.
> Terrible argument, and not really an argument at all.
It's an argument for the devs not shipping
> I agree, so look at the code and point out what's wrong with it.
It's not being shipped.
Hope that helps.
They're shipping though.
Claude Code and many others use it. There's just not been a "public" release.
What are you talking about? I'm running 1.4 canary (the Rust rewrite) right now.
