Why does Anthropic think they need a JS runtime though? Are they just like "well Microsoft has a command line tool for installing JS packages so we need one too"???
On the AI coding IDE side, VSCode has pretty much hoovered up everyone, mainly because JetBrains offered their own AI option, which kept competitors away. On the server side, though, integrating with AI is still wide open.
You eventually have to hit Python because of all the ML libraries. But you can run that as a separate microservice or process. Here's a chance to do something whacky, like let JS invoke Python-ML inline, or port the main ML libraries to JS, or cross-compile JS to CUDA (just spit-balling here). It'll be a lot easier to try these experiments than trying to push it upstream into Node.
Plus, Bun is used by a bunch of cross-platform CLI tools, including Claude Code, so they can make sure there are no breaking changes.
TBH, I'm surprised nobody's snapped up Mojo (and Chris Lattner). They have a lot more advanced, AI-relevant, cross-platform tech.
