Why the Zig Community Celebrated Bun's Switch to Rust

My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite

I recount how Bun's rapid growth and poor engineering practices alienated the Zig community, turning a once-promising project into a liability. After Jarred Sumner's company adopted a toxic culture and shipped low-quality code, the decision to rewrite Bun in Rust brought immense relief. This shift finally distanced the Zig language from a project that exemplified irresponsible software development.
