Is the bun rewrite actually done? There's no tag for the release, and as it stands robobun has almost 1.3k open PRs on the repo: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pulls/robobun https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pulls/robobun
It doesn't look done.
And it looks like work on the rewrite began in early may: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/commit/46d3bc29f270fa881dd5730ef1549e88407701a5#diff-b3c07d9485bc3ae6894a60cba66d6d93c1c43223c9dcf47ad64691930f090152R352 https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/commit/46d3bc29f270fa881dd573...
So... its more like a 2 month rewrite that is definitely not done yet????
- simonw 3mo agoFrom the rewrite to Rust article: > Bun v1.3.14 was the last version of Bun written in Zig. Bun v1.4.0 will be the first version of Bun written in Rust. It's available in canary now. It's also been shipping with Claude Code since June 17th.
- tomlockwood 3mo agoIt's been shipping in the company that's success is partly contingent on it shipping? But there's no release? Curious.
- simonw 3mo agoSounds like the first release is coming very soon. Given the size of the rewrite I think it's pretty responsible to dogfood it a lot - including with a Claude Code release - before pushing a stable release to the wider community.
