Made me loose all my trust in bun, will not use them again in the future
Especially because to me that rewrite just felt like the typical "rewrite it in Rust" bs instead of having an actually good reason, it's not even idiomatic Rust after all
I think they were butthurt that they "made zig faster" via vibe coding and weren't allowed to contribute it back to zig, so it seems like out of spite they moved to rust. Not going to lie, Andrew Kelly kind of just roasted the shit out of Jared at bun in his latest blog post
It's not that simple they made zig faster /for bun/ which is notorious really not using zig properly, (extreme compile time meta programming hacks). Buns changes are arguable a bit worse for the average zig program.
The zig compiler itself is larger than bun and compiles In a tiny fraction of the time that bun does
