Hehe thank you for that. It made me laughed. I fully agree of course.

I'm always impressed by Zig's targets support. I'm starting to think that it might be the only language that competes with C on this regard.

I'm looking forward to see what the new build integration can unlock on the tooling side.

What I'm looking for the most for the next release(s):

- New stackless coroutine IO implementation

- First class fuzzer tooling

You should not worry. They said they would make a short release cycle for updating to 23.

This looks awesome. Do you have video show casing you diagnosing a problem with it?
Re:My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite on Thursday July 09, 2026 @07:59AM (#48844494)
Agreed. This blog post strikes the balance between PR-speak and x.com
I've read somewhere that the longer-term goal is to move the build system into a WebAssembly VM. If so, this is incredible.

I don't know men. I do hang out in the handmade Discord from time to time, and Bill has not been very kind, to say the least.

Maybe I just met him on a bad day.

Hehe it's always Lemire !

No worries. :)

Yep. How will we manage those 10x code projects, when LLMs cost increases by 10x?

Bun is now over 1M lines of Rust code.

This is approaching the size of the Rust compiler itself; except that BunJs is mostly a JavaScript interpreter wrapper + a reimplementation of the NodeJS library (Rust STD wrapper).

I think BunJS is becoming the canary for software complexity management in the LLM era.

+1 The zig toolchain is the state of the art currently.
Re:Zig – Type Resolution Redesign and Language Changes on Tuesday March 17, 2026 @05:09PM (#47418362)
For me, it's the toolchain. The Zig cross-compiler is beyond anything I've seen.
Re:SBCL Fibers – Lightweight Cooperative Threads on Sunday March 15, 2026 @09:10AM (#47387056)
Yeah that was my also my thought.

I always understood that if you give a thread to each actor you get the "active object" design pattern.

I fail to see why this would not work with gcc if it works with clang. The runtime?

Great software.

On a small note: This recent PR is both awesome and pretty funny to me.

As a professional C programmer, the answer seems to be no; they are not good enough.
Re:Multi-Core by Default on Friday October 10, 2025 @05:02PM (#45543753)
This is a good advice. That said, I don't think you should care about people that comments on articles without reading them.
Re:Multi-Core by Default on Friday October 10, 2025 @05:00PM (#45543724)
> they do it using either a parallel functional language or a parallel library in modern C++.

IMO this is a weakness not a strength. The approach of Fleury (low level C, no lib), makes his articles a lot more valuable for understanding fundamentals.
