I don't really see how Bun fits as an acquisition for an AI company. This seems more like "we have tons of capital and we want to buy something great" than "Bun is essential to our core business model".

Looks like they are acquiring the team rather than the product

No, they're clearly acquiring the technology. They're betting Claude Code on Bun, they have an invested interest in the health of Bun.

Why would they want to bet on nascent technology whereas Node.js bas existed for a god 15 years?

Are you referring to node? MS doesn't own that. It's maintained by Joyent, who in turn is owned by Samsung.
