bun in zig was used by many companies. some were using it in prod. how many of those are using it in prod? none, because bun in rust is not released yet.

Hence, the author concludes that rust rewrite is not complete as bun in rust is not released yet.

I agree with author's POV.

The rust version is being used by Claude Code though - which is a fairly large product!

I was hoping for more push back against https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust - which is pretty thorough and has some decent arguments and reasoning for why they did the rewrite.

I think they meant “released and available for use” rather than just out in the wild.

It is available for use: `bun upgrade --canary`

it doesn't imply that lot legacy apps won't crash in prod when it will be actually released. Cool that some complex app is working but is nothing proving that everything will be fine when everyone will try to upgrade.

How much of the Bun/Node API surface does Claude Code actually use though? Conceptually it's a relatively simple TUI application.

Yeah, but it's a TUI that has more bugs and worse performance than any other TUI in history. It's not like we'd notice a user after free.

node is used in prod and bun is faster than node. so using bun directly translates to lower cogs

it is necessary to discern whether the person actually believes it or not. you may understand it but internet is accessible by a lot of idiots. at least one of them is inclined to take the words at face value

Kudos to the wife. that guy would have died without her heroic effort. I hope they are able to recover

is this moonlighting?

There is common wisdom: during gold rush, sell shovels.

Apple's shovel (ahem, Mac mini) is the highest quality.with Companies burning money left, right and center, Apple can dispense with advertising altogether

>As soon as the Internet stops arguing in public about whether the rewrite was good or bad for Bun based on the language choice, I believe that concludes our interactions.

so, never? because with bun being as public and widely known as it is, the debate won't end

wow, it is kinda unexpected that both Mario and Donkey Kong started in the same game. and that in first Donkey Kong game, the main mario was the main character.

Hard to be unexpected for the many of us who lived it. It wasn't that long ago. I remember first seeing a ColecoVison, which shipped with Donkey Kong, and being amazed that, unlike on the Atari 2600, the home version of Donkey Kong actually looked very close to the arcade version.

There is a modern homebrew 2600 DK which is much better than the original.

It’s not a big secret. I’m pretty sure it was mentioned in Chris Pratt’s recent adaptation…

it is not a secret but very unexpected. when I heard of donkey kong, it was in context of donkey kong franchise which obviously feature Donkey Kong as main character just like mario is main character of mario games.

so technically first Donkey Kong game in Donkey Kong series is actually a Mario game. i understand why and how it happened. but this is a trivia that you either know or you would not believe from untrusted sources

It’s more the other way around: the first Mario game was a Donkey Kong game.

The user avatar is only “Mario” in appearance. He was called “Jump Man” in that game and even his outfit colours differed from the Mario games that followed.

you have it backwards . the game was "a Mario game", but it was called "Donkey Kong", so it comes under Donkey Kong franchise.

I don't know why we are making this arbitrary distinction between Mario games and Donkey Kong games.

But if we are the main Mario franchise games are the "Super Mario" games. Donkey Kong is not part of the "Super Mario" series and his "Mario" is not "Super" .

Worth remembering Mario Bros (Not Super)... it's basically the combat mode in SM3+ but as a stand alone game.

Donkey Kong is the main character. Mario was just who the player controlled, he was so unimportant he didn't have a name and they just called him Jump Man.

You could run the original game in Mame.

You could stick it in an arcade cabinet and pretend it's the real thing, like Billy Mitchell

I fired up DK in mame after the King of Kong documentary came out and ended up playing quite a lot as I recalled as a kid having a very difficult time getting anywhere in the game. It was fairly satisfying getting through all the main stages for the first time.

It's also been re-released on Nintendo Switch as a part of Arcade Archives.

Was he called jump man at that point or am I misremembering this?

He did, as is stated in the article.

Thanks. Site was dead when I tried to read it, presumed it was a hackee news ddos.

a significant contribution is due to android companies not allowing bootloader to be unlocked and then not providing kernel sources, making any development very hard, and many times impossible.

yes, vite+ has full support of vite based tools and astro is built on vite.
