Is the Bun Rewrite in Rust Actually Done or Just Hype?
How is the Bun Rewrite in Rust going?
I investigated the claim that Bun was rewritten in Rust for $165,000 using Anthropic's AI. Despite the announcement, no release tag has appeared in six weeks, and open pull requests from Robobun have surged. My analysis suggests the project is far from finished, with significant ongoing costs and direct involvement from Anthropic employees, raising questions about the true value of this AI-driven effort.
I think it’s important to be very Canny when someone makes a claim that supports a company’s large valuation.
