How is the Bun Rewrite in Rust going?

The rust version is being used by Claude Code though - which is a fairly large product!

I was hoping for more push back against https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust - which is pretty thorough and has some decent arguments and reasoning for why they did the rewrite.

I think they meant “released and available for use” rather than just out in the wild.

It is available for use: `bun upgrade --canary`

it doesn't imply that lot legacy apps won't crash in prod when it will be actually released. Cool that some complex app is working but is nothing proving that everything will be fine when everyone will try to upgrade.

How much of the Bun/Node API surface does Claude Code actually use though? Conceptually it's a relatively simple TUI application.
