Possibly related to https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/30/zig-anti-ai/ https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/30/zig-anti-ai/ where the Bun team wanted to upstream work to Zig that was rejected by a blanket anti-LLM contribution policy.

- _--__--__ 5mo agoThat seems totally reasonable but I wonder if there was some head butting in non-public channels given Bun is one of the biggest players in Zig and planned to push through a change like that on their own.
- croes 5mo agoI wonder if they didn’t consider the problems of their changes in Zig what else do they not consider in Bun
- kelnos 5mo agoEven if there was anything in private channels, the reasons stated in that forum post are alone more than enough to reject Bun's Zig changes.
- luma 5mo agoAnd also great reasons for Bun to port themselves elsewhere. If they aren’t allowed to contribute to Zig, there’s very little reason to select Zig moving forward.
- porridgeraisin 5mo agoIt's not that they were not allowed to contribute. If you read the ziggit link up thread it becomes clear why their solution was simply wrong.
