| Not the op, but this TS migration started long before AI was able to help. It was done slowly and carefully, as a project supporting millions of users should. And the benefits are very clear. Bun’s port was a vibe coding fever dream that happened from one day to the next, with much looser motive, and yet to be proven reliable. |

| ▲ | docmars 17 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Bun's migration to Rust was nothing more than a marketing stunt to sell more Claude subs under the impression it can perform this kind of work at scale, assuming that most who were convinced by it wouldn't look under the hood at what really took place. It has its merits as a proof of concept that could eventually be cleaned up and released properly later, but I can't see it any other way. Too many see it as this miraculous one-shot and are using it as a blueprint to justify more layoffs and buzzword salad in their boisterous LinkedIn announcements about how they're "completely overhauling their strategy" in engineering. Hogwash. |

| It's unknowable, because the PR is unreviewable. The Bun migration PR is larger than any model ever made can fit into context. You just have to pray that test coverage is sufficient to catch all of the possible errors, which it almost certainly isn't. |

| I don't think irresponsible is the right word, but it has drastically reduced Bun's appeal. All the tools we use have a brand to them, and Bun basically changed their brand overnight to "reckless" in my eyes. |
