Not sure I understand. Bun's changes are merged on the dev branch and available for use, no?
EDIT: Oh, look, blog post on the front page now.
https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust
> Bun v1.3.14 was the last version of Bun written in Zig. Bun v1.4.0 will be the first version of Bun written in Rust. It's available in canary now.
So, yes, it seems it was definitely more than a "marketing stunt" and it's broadly available and slated to be the production release soon.
The irony is that the blog post actually points out as pain points the reasons many of us assert languages like Zig are out of place in the 21st century.
A nice collection of heap-use-after-free crash, use-after-free crash, crash and out-of-bounds read, memory leak, double-free crash, race condition crash.
Bun is infrastructure. Why would I want my infrastructure to be unstable? (By the way, 10,000 unsafe blocks last I checked, though the number is going down somewhat.)
Your correspondents are arguing in bad faith and out of ignorance.
A minor version bump? Exciting times we live in.
What exactly is your complaint? It doesn't make any breaking changes. That's how semantic versioning works.
