Yeah same for me actually, I mentioned the acquisition more as a temporal cue than an actual reason, even though they are strictly related in the end: Anthropic acquires Bun to prove their argument, that they have the most awesome LLM technology that can rewrite such a complex product from Zig to Rust for $reasons.

I also believe, like others here, that Bun future is also not safe, Anthropic might decide to kill it as soon as they believe it doesn't bring in any more value.
