Yep, the Anthropic acquisition, this petulant Rust rewrite, and bun's increasingly buggy releases (slop) have caused me to migrate my projects (personal and work) to nodejs+pnpm.

The risks of using bun are no longer just those concerns around a newer tech and "drop-in" replacement for nodejs. Now you have to marry Anthropic, Rust, and a founder with conflicting priorities.

Having read the comments from the actual engineer doing this rewrite, the only petulance I have seen is from those reacting so strongly to it.

  • just wait a year or two.

    • How exactly will waiting a year or two make this effort appear “characterized by impatience and grumpy annoyance”, as opposed to the people right now who are loudly bemoaning an engineer trying something out as an experiment?
