This is a huge win for Bun & Anthropic. I've been keeping an eye on Bun development cycle since they announced the Rust rewrite and the huge drama and backlash it generated. They seem to be proving the skeptics wrong with this release.

It's way late and seriously over budget, hard to call that a success.

It's an unconditional success no matter how you slice it.

What are you talking about? What is the budget? Was there ever a deadline? Who ever decided those?

~3 months start to finish and the price of 1 engineer for a year, to rewrite a critical infra codebase that tens of millions of user software relies on. Truly the goalposts keep moving. This kind of project would've have been 10x the effort and price a few years ago.

		Yeah, crucially, a lot of such projects never get greenlit. Claude building stuff means a lot of things that everybody wanted to do, just couldn't allocate the attention or other resources - now get built.
