My description was pretty much on point. The authors of Bun appeared to have grown tired of Zig's "memory leaks, segfaults, and other stability issues". The statements (check their twitter/X) are not at all shocking, considering the over 3,000 stranded issues at Zig's GitHub repo.

Unless team Bun had some type of philosophical or financial allegiance to Zig, which they appear not to, it shouldn't be surprising that they jumped to some other language (Rust in this case).

Think it's more a matter of Zig not being able to deliver nor meet their requirements. That they may have got tired of Zig, so felt it was time to switch to something else, is their prerogative. Especially with having near unlimited tokens to blow.
