The last three months have not looked good for Bun. It started as one of the most impressive individual engineering projects I have seen, but has now turned into this weird AI-powered creature with continuous false promises and an increasingly frustrated community.

    Well, Anthropic have previously used their near-infinite investor money to give out tokens to open-source projects as a publicity stunt. And it just seemed so impossible to me that they would revert when they’re owned by Anthropic, that it made me unsure, if they’re aware of this ownership… 😅

    And good point about Bun being more than just a package manager.
    uv is also more than a package manager. Pretty sure, it could also be referred to as a bundler and a test runner, and I’ve seen it used to manage the install of different Python runtime versions. But yeah, being a full language runtime by itself, that is the big one here.

    I mean, there’s also a near-infinite supply of toy programming languages being implemented in Rust, if the LLM needs something to ripoff, but yeah, a production codebase will be magnitudes more complex, of course.
