Thus far most of the buzz and marketing has been entirely negative from people who are against AI.
My take is that most of the buzz is also tied to recent negative opinions of Anthropic themselves due to some of their recent decisions.
* Make a huge deal out of it how “Claude Code enabled Bun team to rewrite 1+ mil of Zig lines to Rust” and write a blogpost, VCs are salivating
* Basic checks fail
* Let Mythos rip the codebase to shreds, spend God knows how much more
* Write a separate blogpost
* Charlatans and smooth brains clap and defend against “delusional anti-AI mob”
* VCs orgasm even harder
Clap, clap, clap. That’s how you make money, folks.
And btw, we need to get rid of software engineers now.
I mean, the phrase "Zig to Rust port of Bun" makes little sense even to many professional developers. They may know Rust, might have heard of Zig, very likely don't know what Bun is.
So the fact that this gets any attention at all says something.
It's not that they're using AI, it's the massive rug pull on bun users.

It’s just a standard Pavlovian response of a bootlicker, it can also be triggered if you mention “tax the rich” and “regulate AI hyperscalers”.
