Why are you resistant to adding a sentence to the article that notes that Claude Code uses the rewrite?
replyDo you think it would weaken the article?
When I said it would improve the credibility I did mean it. My instinct on reading the article this morning was "this person doesn't know that Claude Code runs on Bun, which weakens their credibility in presenting the argument they are making here."
To me this seems like an odd preoccupation for an article that is very little about the Bun rewrite as a running program and very much about the process of the re-write and how it came to be in commits to the repository.
replyYou could argue that the release tag isn't important - but at the top of this comment thread a member of the team confirms they delayed the release to finish some extra testing. So the ambiguity around if the project is complete and pointing to the lack of a release mirrors internal sentiment as well.
Please feel free to write an article that corrects my mistakes.
replyI try not to publish articles that call out mistakes by other people just for the sake of it. I've written a fair amount about the Bun rewrite already - https://simonwillison.net/search/?q=bun%20rust
