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

    Yeah. I'm going to keep using it for now but definitely going back and un-reimplementing some things that I moved into the Bun API. Basically just gonna use it as a runtime in place of NodeJS.

    I just really liked being able to build and distribute a single binary executable :(

    I would say it should be forked but no one knows Zig haha.

    I know some, it's such a shame that one of the biggest zig projects suffered this fate, they're also a significant contributor to the zig project
