It's I think not churn for the sake of churn. It's likely encouraged by the fact that Zig itself will not accept AI written code contributions.

So now imagine your company and project -- written in Zig -- has just been acquired by the world's biggest/second-biggest AI company.

That company's most successful and popular tool is running on your platform that is written Zig.

And Zig maintainers want nothing to do with you.

What kind of pressures, real or imagined, do you think that puts on the developers of Bun?

Honestly, from what I've seen from a distance, actual rigorous software engineering doesn't happen at Anthropic. From what we saw of the Claude Code source, the reliability issues over the last few months, and now this. It's just a bunch of people getting high on their own supply falling all over each other. Quality issues galore and a delirious frenzy.

FWIW I don't think it's intrinsic to AI. Codex is very well written (in Rust, BTW), fast, and consistent.
