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

Every Silicon Valley company has to deal with this on a weekly basis.

Ah fuck, o7 bun. It was a pretty nice runtime, Deno it is now I guess.

I'm so glad I don't have to use JS

In fairness, Anthropic needed some way to bundle up to stay warm in the upcoming AI winter..,
