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".

>>jjorda+N3
Looks like they are acquiring the team rather than the product

>>nuruma+64
No, they're clearly acquiring the technology. They're betting Claude Code on Bun, they have an invested interest in the health of Bun.

>>simonw+j4
Why would they want to bet on nascent technology whereas Node.js bas existed for a god 15 years?

>>LunaSe+a5
Because they needed something that could produce a single binary that works on every platform. They started shipping Claude Code with Bun back in July: https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/1943492457506697482

>>simonw+Wa
They could use the Node.js equivalent: https://nodejs.org/api/single-executable-applications.html#s...

>>LunaSe+7i
They evidently evaluated Node.js in comparison to Bun (and Deno) earlier this year and came to a technical decision about which one worked best for their product.

>>simonw+Ii
I highly doubt that the JS ecosystem is driven mostly by hype so I highly doubt the nodejs solution even put on a table in an internal issue tracker.

Claude Code shipped on top of Node.js for the first four months of its existence.

Why wouldn't they consider their options for bundling that version into a single binary using Node.js tooling before adopting Bun?
