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

Isn't Python also widely supported these days?

Though I'll always prefer compiled languages over interpreted and I think cross compiling is also in the best state it ever has been, though dependencies can complicate things still, as well as any inline assembly use.

Supported as in "you can install an interpreter on most machines": yes

But for JS it's already there. You can just write a program, upload it someone, send someone a link and it runs. And it's even sandboxed.

(Although thanks to webassembly, that will be true for many more languages as well, so maybe my argument is void)
