It’s really only a matter of time until someone forks the Zig version of Bun.
What a slap in the face to all the Zig developers that spent their time, effort and probably even some money contributing to it.

Realistically speaking, when Anthropic acquired Bun, they naturally would have needed a narrative showcasing that their AI excels even at relatively new languages like Zig. But since the Zig camp explicitly declared an anti-AI stance, it makes perfect sense why things played out this way. It's a understandable business realit
Add todo item: learn zig.

It's not about which programming language they use.
To upper-middle class people, their job is a religion. Investing in a programming language is a decision to gamble thousands of hours of your life for a programmer. At some point of projects shifting away from your language, your mortgage and your children's tuition will be affected.
I think it's a miscategorisation that programmers are upper-middle class. Lots would probably reach middle, but upper-middle is more tied to generational wealth and other factors of social prestige that aren't typically attainable for a normal working programmer.
Edit: You mentioned tuition, so you must be American. I am British and our social class "system" is different. I'll leave my comment as some may find it interesting.
I’m so glad as a Python developer none of this religious bullshit enters into the equation. Exactly why I left Scala behind.

What a weird take. Might as well give up on anything you care about, as its only an "x"
You shouldn’t feel slapped in the face if someone chooses a programming language you don’t like. Full stop.
