@dthompson I'm wondering what are you referring too? I thought #zig has a strong anti- #genAI policy: https://ziglang.org/code-of-conduct/

@len it's about the Bun "rewrite" (Claude generated slop) from Zig to Rust. https://andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html

@dthompson I now read both blog posts. Do I understand it correctly that the Bun dev spent $165.000 on (still subsidized) API prices in two weeks to make the code harder to understand and slower to compile without creating functional improvements?

Does the material advantage boil down to “we can use all Rust libraries now”?
