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

Bun was purely built to make building faster and the apps to be portable

Pretty sure Deno had that first though.

Deno launched with an all-tools-in-one approach and then you could use deno bundle to compile everything into a single binary that you could run on another machine.

Then they briefly broke deno bundle in their 2.0 release when they added node/npm compatibility then brought it back in 2.4.
