In what ways does Anthropic use Bun? I know it's used as the "runtime" for Claude Code, but rather than porting a million lines of Zig to Rust, why not just port Claude Code to rust and not need to bundle a JS runtime at all? Does Anthropic use Bun otherwise? Maybe for JS execution tool calls in Claude responses?

I’ve wondered the same. Especially because codex is written in rust.

Why not just port Claude code over.

But my guess is that maybe it doesn’t have as robust a test suite?

This might embolden them to do it…
