Nobody can.
reply"Claude Code uses Bun" is the reason that's given. But even though Anthropic tells us that "coding is solved", instead of rewriting Claude Code in something other than JS, they bought a company that made a JS runtime and then did a mass rewrite of that JS runtime.
Claude Code uses bun.
replyYeah I get they use it but I don't understand why you would buy it. it's just the runtime for code that makes up the agent.
replyBun was a startup. Startups can go out of business, and then you are now scrambling to move your code to something else. They could also be bought by someone who has different priorities regarding future development than you, and that's also a risk.
replyThe simplest solution to these problems, if you have the capital, is to buy them.
I get that but there is always node.js
replyThey aren't exactly the same thing, moving to node would be possible but bun does more than node, so you need to replace the whole thing.
replyOh for sure. I guess its just as much a Acqui-hire as well as for the tech.
