At that point, even Bun itself doesn't matter. All intermediate tools don't matter if LLMs can reliably write something large.
The problem is that LLM is not quite there yet. The rewrite was only possible because they mostly stick to 1-to-1 translation resulting in non-idiomatic Rust code. So, what from there? I don't think they can really build up a sane codebase from that state. They only shot themselves with a bigger gun.
That’s patently false, just read Jarred’s own blog post describing how that was the first stage only, they went through many more to get the amount of non idiomatic, unsafe Rust code to an acceptable level.
We'll develop faster and better tech. We'll find resources to feed that. Use that to build better. Access better resources. We'll mine asteroids. We'll harness much more from the sun. The factory must grow.
Earth is in a cooler period and it will get very warm. These crappy climate change activists will not get anything done but to hold us back. We need more power, more tech, and more abundance of things. We will need to engineer our way out of real climate change.
Keep in mind that you are not Anthropic, and you'll likely NOT consider rewrite at all if you don't have unlimited budget
Software refactoring and tech debt is absolutely where LLMs will shine as is evidenced by the Bun rewrite.
> If projects like Bun can be substantially rewritten and shipped to millions of users, it suggests we're entering a very different phase of software development.
exactly. this wasn't a technical project. this was a marketing stunt that worked on you.
