Bun 1.4 Rust rewrite is not looking good • Tero Piirainen

The last three months have not looked good for Bun. It started as one of the most impressive individual engineering projects I have seen, but has now turned into this weird AI-powered creature with continuous false promises and an increasingly frustrated community.

    Please don’t mention Rust. Rust is a great programming language. The main culprit is they used AI to rewrite it. Rust does not deserve another rotten egg thrown at it because of this.

      Rust is not the catch all solution its boosters are selling as. If anything, it has its own issues, such as its quite bad at game dev stuff, even if bevy exists.

      Nobody is mentioning Rust, really. “The bun Rust rewrite” is a phenomenon. It’s not about Rust,just like “the Boston tea party” is not about tea.

        I wish that was true. However, look at the title, look at how people talk about this in general. “Yo, you heard Bun was rewritten in Rust? That is soooo lame.”

        Really, the title shall just say “Bun vibe-rewrite”.
