bun in zig was used by many companies. some were using it in prod. how many of those are using it in prod? none, because bun in rust is not released yet.
Hence, the author concludes that rust rewrite is not complete as bun in rust is not released yet.
I agree with author's POV.
The rust version is being used by Claude Code though - which is a fairly large product!
I was hoping for more push back against https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust - which is pretty thorough and has some decent arguments and reasoning for why they did the rewrite.
I think they meant “released and available for use” rather than just out in the wild.
It is available for use: `bun upgrade --canary`
How much of the Bun/Node API surface does Claude Code actually use though? Conceptually it's a relatively simple TUI application.
Yeah, but it's a TUI that has more bugs and worse performance than any other TUI in history. It's not like we'd notice a user after free.
