I fully AI-driven rewrite of a massive codebase from one language to another within a reasonable release-cycle has never been done before. There was a lot of sentiment around the lines of: - Bun is done for, it's all slop now - there's no way a fully AI-written codebase can work - Jarred is an idiot for trusting AI to rewrite the whole thing - they're never going to release this, there's going to be a billion of bugs This release proved all of this wrong. It also serves as a great advertisement of how capable Anthropic models and harness are to enable this.

I don't think this release definively proved all of this wrong, no.

  That's true, it was when they stealthed released it in a application that millions use and no one noticed.

  Which one did it not prove wrong? The fully AI written version of Bun has released, fixed a ton of bugs that existed in the zig version, added a lot of new features and performance improvements and has been shipping with every single installation of claude code for months, the most widely used LLM-harness out there. By every single measurable metric this is better software than the old hand-written version ever was.
