Maintenance of the zig code was abandoned, while the port continued in the same repo, and it's unlikely any work on the zig branch will keep momentum. So yes it forked, but more in the fork+exec sense (or maybe just exec, the analogy's not that great).
- ivanjermakov 3mo agoAccording to Andrew, bun-zig is not something some brave soul would be eager to maintain. > We became increasingly horrified at the programming practices we saw in Bun's codebase. Hacks on top of hacks. Abuse of assertions. Most of all, recklessly speeding past feature after feature with very little time taken for reflection and elimination of bugs and technical debt. Just "1MLOC JavaScriptCore wrapper" is enough to figure out why.
