Stay your pitchforks.
I think it’s valid to object to. If 1.4 is good enough to be used by Claude, why not us?
That might even be the reason why they switched to rust.
Don't worry too much.
…but they have? Claude users are public, no? If they were dogfooding internally I’d agree with you.
You just can't win.
You could! You could not release a “pile of vibe coded slop” onto people’s machines. There don’t even appear to be any particular advantages to Claude upgrading early. If there are no one has been made aware of it.
I believe you've just made your opponent's point for them.
But more to your point: Do you believe in "guilty until proven innocent"? Do you believe that they're doing bad things with the bun code, and you can't be convinced otherwise in your judgment of them until they release the code?

Hell yes, and anyone who trusts one of the AI labs for anything important is insane.
Whether it's their initial mass piracy and then lying about it, dealmaking with the US government, or continually shifting opt-out lines on what they are and aren't training on, they haven't earned the trust to skip the "but verify" step.
Their economic incentives are too transparently aligned with ends at any costs.
At this point, charging is the least of your issues.
It's true that we don't know exactly which, and whether or not there are any other changes added on, but that is the case for every single release of Claude Code that has used bun.
from strings:
bun-v1.4.0
f6d0fcd24abd48061873c2f1a6fb2a67eee487b8
Upgraded.
Welcome to Bun's latest canary build!
(In contrast, earlier builds that I have locally have commit IDs that can be found in the public repo). I don't think it's particularly damning for them to vendor a canary release, mind you.
> The most recent release of Bun on GitHub is currently v1.3.14 from May 12th, so that v1.4.0 version number in Claude supports them shipping a preview of a not-yet-released Bun version.
> And so, the FOSS project "Bun" silently dies
There’s no implication that it’s because of the switch to Rust.
I was responding to your GP comment. For weeks, it was uproar over the blanket AI move to Rust and now it’s this reason. That’s why I said the goalposts are being moved.
What?
Now, /you/ are trying to move the goalposts into an entirely different argument.
Very likely it’s just anti Anthropic altogether.
Like I said, a meme.
Anthropic hasn’t done anything wrong but if they move a single inch then people will complain. Perhaps it is just a preview version?
I’m sorry but this is a nonsensical debate.
> Now, /you/ are trying to move the goalposts into an entirely different argument.
You said something and I responded to it. That’s invalid too now? There can only ever be one single objection in a conversation? I’m not permitted to react to the things said? Like I said, nonsense.
I'm just one person though, and have no problem with a move to language X, using tool Y, who cares?
For "goalpost are being moved" to be valid here, you have to be able to point to someone saying one thing at one point, then same person putting a different target later. You're folding a huge group of people into one person, when that's not really accurate to do.
