> 1 person did a rust rewrite that took 6 days that would have taken hundreds of engineers more than a year to do.

The entire bun team was only about a dozen people and they wrote it from scratch.

It would not take hundreds of engineers to port the existing codebase to another language.

I think this is a cool experiment, but some of these claims are getting absurd.
