Re:How is the Bun Rewrite in Rust going? by piterrro on Monday July 27, 2026 @08:15AM (#49068546)
I see some similarity with this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49063175

The question pops up: was the point of this rewrite to get more publicity reach? Was it all marketing? I can schedule a rewrite of Wordpress to Rust just today, call it a day in a week and proclaim a great end to PHP in Wordpress - but then, it's all pointless. The whole point of Wordpress is PHP.

I know I'm comparing apples to oranges here as Bun is not the same as Wordpress. But is it really that distant to not use this analogy?

For future, I'll be asking myself one question: who has skin in this game?

What's the point of this rewrite? Who benefits from it?
