Re:Rewriting Bun in Rust by zamadatix on Thursday July 09, 2026 @07:56AM (#48844463)
An extremely interesting blog post for me on a few fronts:

I'm very glad to see a holidtic approach to the memory errors and segfaults. I was tinkering on a static webpage just this this weekend, using Bun as the transpiler+bundler since it's so turnkey, and I ran into a few segfaults. E.g. when Bun saw I used an empty data uri for the favicon (avoids the browser trying to ask for one) it'd just crash. It reminded me of my own tinkering with Zig in its current pre-release state where it's usually a good mix of my poor memory management and working around bugs in Zig itself.
