I'm really out the loop here so maybe you can help answer me a question - why is HN unhappy about this rewrite? why are people writing here almost as if they feel betrayed by Bun being rewritten from Zig into Rust?
I genuinely don't get it. I've been following this Bun stuff a bit but I don't understand where the HN sentiment is coming from.
I mean this is just fingers-in-your-ears "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!" stuff.
I still have a job so AI hasn't taken that yet. But the suggestion it's "no closer" is ridiculous. At least in my life/career/office this last 12 months seems to have been a real inflection point in how AI is being used for software development.
I don't completely disagree with what you are saying -- but there's no way you produce and review 20k lines a day. That part is clearly false. Even if Claude generated it in 10 seconds and it needed no changes you probably still couldn't review that much sensibly.
I used Claude a lot on a recent project where it probably wrote 15-20k lines in a month, and it was overall excellent.
But maybe the simplest answer is that most people do use the tools daily now and consider them essential...?
As much as HN would hate to think that
