As expected [0] [1], this was a clear advertisement / marketing opportunity of Anthropic's Fable model on rewriting Bun (which powers Claude Code) from Zig into Rust.

Something that would have taken hundreds of developers now took 1 developer with Fable.

Now Claude, rewrite Claude Code from TypeScript to Rust. Make absolutely zero mistakes.

> There are a lot of ways to do a terrible job of this. For example, prompting Claude "Rewrite Bun in Rust. Don't make any mistakes." and then praying it would work is not what I did.

    *whoosh* goes the joke.

      Hacker News does not have a meme-y culture, and this post takes this topic pretty seriously and is technically interesting.

      It's not so much that I missed that it was a joke, I just don't think that it really added to the discussion.

      What you've edited it to is a much better comment.
