I can’t think of a single example where a piece of open-source software was announced like this before it was available in some form.

- steveklabnik 5y agoSure, your mileage may vary. I often see people tweet about or talk about stuff before it's actually ready to go, as a way of getting specific feedback early on without committing to all of the stuff involved in opening a repository. Also, I don't really see where the authors submitted it to HN, so saying they announced it this way is a bit strange. By the way, it is available in "some form." After reading your comment I joined the Discord, there is an #invites channel where you can type "I want bun" and it will generate a link for you to be invited to the repo, with a #releases channel that links to each release.
