| I think it's hilarious how hopeful people were at the acquisition that Bun would be able to continue on mostly as it had been but then that all got completely thrown away and trashed. (Hilarious in the way that's terribly sad, of course.) |

| It usually takes years for someone's values to be thrown out the window! How long was this one? |

| How has it been trashed? Does the Bun software not work anymore? |

| ▲ | tedivm 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They literally threw out every line of code that existed before and rewrote it in a completely different language, seemingly on a whim. That's how it was trashed, in the very literal sense that all of the existing project was tossed in the trash in favor of a completely brand new code base. That's a big deal even if you ignore the coding agent aspects. | | |
| ▲ | LoganDark 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The worst part is that they basically didn't review the new code at all other than making sure it passes tests. We have no idea what could be lurking in the codebase now, and it's even all completely un-idiomatic, Zig-ish Rust. | | |
