Not a single person on the Bun team nor Anthropic has yet done anything egregious to market this as anything but a swap to a more memory-safe language with better compiler guarantees.

Thus far most of the buzz and marketing has been entirely negative from people who are against AI.

My take is that most of the buzz is also tied to recent negative opinions of Anthropic themselves due to some of their recent decisions.

The best kind of marketing is when you don’t need to say it aloud by yourself. Yet, this is constantly in HN front page. Maybe engineered or not but marketing regardless.
