Yea - if you want a paranoidly-sandboxed, instant-start, high-concurrency environment, not just on beefy servers but on resource-constrained/client devices as well, you need experts in V8 integration shenanigans. Cloudflare Workers had Kenton Varda, who had been looking at lightweight serverless architecture at Sandstorm years ago. Anthropic needs this too, for all the reasons above. Makes all the sense in the world.

Bun isn't based on V8, it's JavaScriptCore, but your point still stands.

    You single handedly built all of Cloudfare workers? Impressive, most of us would have required a team or a “we”.

To be honest, that sounds more like a pitch for deno than for bun, especially the “paranoidly sandboxed” part.
