So this went from people are over reacting to they are not over reacting?

I wonder if Tigerbeetle or Ghostty are next?

This is not surprising, considering that the acquiring company's entire business plan is based on burning more tokens.

		Zig has been doing fine before Bun and will be fine also after. I'm personally thankful to Jarred & Bun for supporting Zig Software Foundation financially before they got acquired by Anthropic, but the reality of interacting with individuals in the Zig community is that the people who actually show up to Zig events and who do have compelling open source projects are almost never people who were interested in Zig because of Bun. Bun did give us a bunch of visibility, but most of it was superficial interest. Understandably, Bun is a JS runtime and so the people who discovered Zig that way were likely interested in doing webdev, and Zig is just now polishing the I/O implementation, so it doesn't have yet a particularly compelling web development experience to offer.

		Seems like a nice language https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/ Maybe I should write some code in it sometime.

		More like RIP bun. Wouldn't have paid any attention bun if it weren't for Zig. Now I need to figure out what the "normal" runtime is to switch my work typescript stuff to.
