Biggest WTF news I’ve read today. I’m not a web dev so this doesn’t affect me, but this is bizarre.
We get a closer first look at what’s around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it
This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s
It’s not a bad outcome. Bun is cool but has $0 revenue and some hand-wavy thing about future paid cloud services. This way, larger companies will give them a more serious shot than they would a small startup.
It still doesn’t have a revenue story, but it’s now strapped onto the side of one of the few AI companies with a decent chance of surviving the next AI Winter. And if Anthropic goes sideways, the Bun engineers can fork the code and keep going.
