The post sounds like an advertisement.

I'd estimate based on those it cost at least a million bucks.

We're never going to know how much it cost and how many hours of engineering time it took behind the scenes.

I believe this about as much as the claim that the Bun rewrite cost $165k

Bun now has a rule for github actions to chastise robobun if it leaves a long comment: "If you need a paragraph-long comment to justify why the workaround is OK, the code is wrong — fix the code"

Jarred from Bun is in this comment section saying the rewrite isn't finished yet. I therefore don't consider it a failure or a success. I'll be keen to see how much the CI cost though since that's a part of the cost of t

Personally I think the cost does matter.

Yeah if you want you can check out my github page to see some tool failures. Nobody is hyping those up, though.

You've got my blessing. I think given how mistaken I am, it should be quite an engaging article.

It isn't clear to me that the price is worth it.

Author here: Exactly. I had a funny thought that Bun might add a release tag while I was still writing the article. In that case I'd still publish it, because the point is we still don't know the cost it took to get to a viable, w

Please feel free to write an article that corrects my mistakes.

I link to Jarred's writeup on bun.com, where you'll note he mentions that its being used on Prisma and Claude Code. I don't agree that using something in a very specific environment is the same as a wide release. I trust read

Author here: I don't need or want another Bun release or an NPM release or anything like that. Like I very clearly say in the article I just got chatting with a peer about the Bun rewrite and I decided to take a look. I'm consiste

I mention Anthropic dogfooding this in the article.

by tomlockwood 2mo ago
I don't think that's true. I think a fair chunk of them are places where Bun is handed a pointer by WebKit or something similar. I believe they write about this a little.

Ohhhhh for a world where that's peanuts for an open source project.

That's absolutely correct!

More proof that it was written by a human!!!

Author here: I'm also not sure how much we can glean from any of that!!! I look forward to Anthropic or Bun releasing a retrospective after their next release that fully outlines the cost.

Not sure! I cludged together a counter using git log. I could go back and redo it but I think the number would serve my point either way.

Author here: An apology on the graphs, they just count rust files touched in commits, not total commits. So if there were two commits and one touched 3 .rs files and another touched 2, it'd be counted as 5 for the purposes of the graph
