Bun is 100% fine in production. And you should be using it instead of transpiling TypeScript unless there’s some other barrier to using it.

I am not trying to dunk on this project
all of these project is great but we cant ignore that Zig is not enter phase where we can guarantee stable API compability

Nobody is denying that? Andrew Kelly and the Zig team have been extremely clear that they are okay making break changes. So if you're choosing to use it in large projects, as some have, you're taking that risk.
I think it speaks volumes that these projects chose to use it, and speak very highly of it, despite the fact that it's still pre 1.0.

My Opinion???
how about you goes to Zig github and check how progress of the language
it literally there and its still beta test and not fit for production let alone have mature ecosystem

Yes, your opinion. I run it in production and everything I've built with it has been rock solid (aside from my own bugs). I haven't touched a few of my projects in a few years and they work fine, but if I wanted to update them to the latest version of Zig I'd have a bit of work ahead of me. That's it.
