April 26th - Bun announces they used AI to fork Zig so they could make an optimization for a 4x improvement

April 27th - Zig contributor mlugg clarifies why the specific optimizations Bun did were ill advised and wouldn't have been accepted in Zig, regardless of AI use [1]

May 4 - Bun is looking into Rust as an alternative.

This, to me, seems like total whiplash. Has anyone at Bun made a statement on why they're making such dramatic changes? It seems like the lesson to internalize from mlugg is not "switch to Rust"
