    Well considering the Zed Zig lang devs have quietly distanced themselves from the Bun maintainer due to, as the lang devs describe it, “cowboy bullshit and vibe coding”, I’m not surprised that vibe coding in another language isn’t going well either. Note that this project used to be a poster child for Zed Zig lang, but is now (through no fault of Zed Zig lang or the lang devs) effectively divorcing from it.

    Edit: derp, lol

    It’s worth noting that in the ~2 weeks since this was published, Bun 1.4 was actually released. I don’t know how the release has gone.

    I’m an AI coding minimalist…like it for some tasks like creating unit tests and other tedium.

    The bun saga of having AI do everything has been a fascinating horror show. Excited to see where it goes.

      It was a replacement for node.js and npm that was supposed to be faster and had other things built in like minifying and bundling iirc.

        Did they deliver? Was it worth the hype?

        I’ve heard about them from time to time. Been rather curious myself, but never really had the chance to use it.

          I tried it out for a few hobby side projects as someone that doesn’t do much JavaScript development.

          It delivered on the dev experience. I didn’t have to learn how to plug a bunch of random tools together because bun had a lot of the basic stuff just bundled in.

          Task runner, test runner, typescript, etc.

          I think if I spent more time doing JavaScript development work it wouldn’t have really mattered, that project bootstrapping is a one time cost and if you know how to do it it’s cheap enough. As someone that spends most of their time writing other languages though it was nicer than figuring out how to get a bunch of tools to play nice with each other.

          I heard of people using it on hobby projects.

          Don’t know of any firm using it in production. Node.js never really had scale issues that needed addressing.

          I’ve moved more towards deno recently. No real desire for bun on my end

          One nice thing about bun was/is that you can feed it TypeScript files directly, to run them locally. No need to transpile first. Much like deno.
