A lot of people seem confused about this acquisition because they think of Bun as a node.js compatible bundler / runtime and just compare it to Deno / npm. But I think its a really smart move if you think of where Bun has been pushing into lately which is a kind of cloud-native self contained runtime (S3 API, SQL, streaming, etc). For an agent like Claude Code this trajectory is really interesting as you are creating a runtime where your agent can work inside of cloud services as fluently as it currently does with a local filesystem. Claude will be able to leverage these capabilities to extend its reach across the cloud and add more value in enterprise use cases

Yea, they just posted this a few days ago:

They discussed how running generated code is better for context management in many cases. The AI can generate code to retrieve, process, and filter the data it needs rather than doing it in-context, thus reducing context needs. Furthermore, if you can run the code right next to the server where the data is, it's all that much faster.

I see Bun like a Skynet: if it can run anywhere, the AI can run anywhere.

Java can run anywhere too

>>yellow+mX
run code anywhere hamstrung by 90s syntax and hidden code indirections

Haven’t checked in on Java in a while?

>>ground+m01
From what I gather everyone is still stuck on Java 8 so no need to check?

>>ozim+C71
Where do you gather this from? We are a startup, on Java and on 25.

Why didn't you choose something more modern/sensible. go/kotlin/anything else on the planet?
