Jarred rewrite Bun in Rust in a week with clankers. Say what you want about it, but that’s impressive. Also a reminder that this is happening while plenty of software engineers still dismiss the general utility of LLMs for programming. https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30412

@mitsuhiko@hachyderm.io it is impressive but having done this at work in upgrading APIs it is not a surprise. My question is why they prefer Rust over Zig going forward.
