Bun is joining Anthropic
bun.com
Bun has been acquired by Anthropic. Anthropic is betting on Bun as the infrastructure powering Claude Code, Claude Agent SDK, and future AI coding products & tools.

Biggest WTF news I’ve read today. I’m not a web dev so this doesn’t affect me, but this is bizarre.

We get a closer first look at what’s around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it

This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s

    I started using Claude Code myself. I got kind of obsessed with it.

    Over the last several months, the GitHub username with the most merged PRs in Bun’s repo is now a Claude Code bot. We have it set up in our internal Discord and we mostly use it to help fix bugs. It opens PRs with tests that fail in the earlier system-installed version of Bun before the fix and pass in the fixed debug build of Bun. It responds to review comments. It does the whole thing.

    Seems like they’ve bought into the hype.
