Cruller: Bun's Zig Runtime, Continued on Zig 0.16

I don't understand why the git history has been pruned in this fork.

According to the first commit in this fork:

> Squashed as a single orphan commit — the original oven-sh/bun history isn't relevant to this stripped fork and its shallow clone doesn't push cleanly to a fresh remote.

IMHO it's always a bad decision to do that. Here, all commit authors are lost. The original history is always relevant.

One thing to point out is all the author's comments seem LLM generated and so does the README and the latest commit to the branch (large explanation in a comment and then change)..

There seems to be some confusion here (including in the linked discussion?) about what this is. This is not continuing the development on the original Bun (Zig) codebase.

It is extracting a subset of that codebase for deployment purposes. The full version of Bun (presumably in Rust?) will continue to be used for actual development.

So it is not a replacement for Bun, but a supplement to it.

As usual, most forks created out of community rupture eventually die.

What makes Bun Bun is all the things that got removed from this project. Node is already powerful enough and well maintained. Why would anyone use this?

Does it work with WSL1? That’s all I care about.

i dont see the point of this to be honest, if rust is actually better for bun why are you people just hating on it for no reason? a software doesnt have to be written in your favourite language for it to work. bun was a sloppy project is zig and still sloppy in rust

Heroic effort, sifting through that code I mean, but frankly I would have started a new one from scratch, the only thing of value is the name/popularity of the original project.
