So, Anthropic acquires Bun team because claude-code uses Bun. They port Bun from Zig to Rust presumably because Rust "is better" (imagine big air quotes here). Again presumably, they want to make claude-code "better". Why make it so complicated? With all the power of LLMs they have, surely they can make claude-code the best possible by writting it in Rust directly.
Presumably they aren't falling for their (extremely obvious) "grassroots" marketing, and know, like any good engineer, that LLMs are not the right tool for this.
It's easy to just see Bun as a marketing stunt, as well.
Are you replying to the wrong comment? I clearly quoted which part I were replying to. I didn't attempt to answer the question "why write Bun in Rust when CC itself can be written in Rust."
What I said is that "they know that LLMs are not the right tool for this" is not the answer, as CC is already vibecoded so it'd be very weird to believe you can't vibecode a port of CC.
The actual answer is, of course, the whole discussion is just making a hill out of a mole. Bun is not committed to a Rust rewriting, vibed or not.
