In other news today, Bun, which is one of the biggest projects written in Zig, joined Anthropic, the company behind Claude Code, and has nothing but kind words to say about AI. If Zig becomes ever more hostile to AI, I wonder if there may be some "friction" there.

Why would zig care that a project written in zig is used for AI?

  Usually programming languages need that killer project to sell themselves, instead of being something only language nerds play with, Bun was one of such projects.

  And if they did, what could they possibly do?

    As Bun uses Zig quite a lot, I expect them to be quite active in the Zig forums and submitting patches and feature requests. I was thinking of things like AI-generated patches submitted by Bun to the Zig project, or feature requests by Bun for AI-specific use cases... that could create a really bad atmosphere between Zig and Bun people if the Zig Foundation continuously rejects their contributions/requests/discussions.
