Why does Mozilla keep diluting their efforts into stuff like AI? From the outside it looks like they barely have resources to keep Firefox competitive.

If precision is important then non deterministic AI is simply not a good tool.

Well either Claude cannot fix those bugs or it can but the Bun team decided to not fix those bugs on purpose. Not sure which is worse.

> LTS is more relevant if there was any kind of compatibility that was broken Do we know 100% for certain that this isn't the case? No. In fact it would be naive to think a rewrite of this magnitude wouldn't introduce new bug

Java, Node, and .NET have LTS versions all of which are free to use. > Or are you expecting open source maintainers to do free work for no particular reason? Free work? Last I heard Anthropic had acquired Bun.

Who in their right mind would immediately migrate their production apps into a complete re-write of a runtime? It would be naive to think there aren't new bugs or changes in behavior introduced in 1.4.

Personally I don't care that they used AI to rewrite Bun to Rust. Even if 1.4 is not good enough it will probably get better over time. What has pushed me back to Node is seeing how amateurish the transition has been handled. - No LTS

I've been impacted by a couple of bugs in Bun.SQL and lo and behold these were only fixed for 1.4. Presumably Claude could have fixed those in the Zig version but the Bun team decided to not do that. Furthermore, there's no mentio

> Compiler errors are a better feedback loop than a style guide So essentially this whole re-write was about making Bun LLM compatible.

what about new bugs introduced after the rewrite?

It's very cool to see the JS ecosystem reducing dependencies and I hope this trend continues. Astro has gone from 247 deps in v6 to 190 in v7. https://node-modules.dev/#install=astro@7.0.6 https://node-modul

Looks like Microsoft is desperate for more cash to burn on AI and making drastic decisions like this. Sure the Xbox division wasn't doing amazing but still had $24B of revenue in 2025. For reference PlayStation made $30B that same year

Inference margin is irrelevant. That’s like a gas station saying they have 90% margin over pumps but still losing money.

Spend 5 minutes on the marketing pages of any AI company and it's obvious they're not selling electricity, fuel, or even raw compute.

On top of that isn't it strange that if the LLM makes a mistake you're still charged for those tokens? They're selling "intelligence", automation, etc but if the service doesn't work as expected the user has to

The only thing that matters is the economy of it all. Open AI et al are hemorrhaging absurd amounts of money. It's not clear whether there will ever be a good balance between cost, value, and price. Lots of companies are already ques

I was hoping for something more flexible. I suppose the whole point of Prettier is that it's not flexible but I find 90% of the times the code is actually uglier when using it.
