Zig Creator Calls Spade a Spade, Anthropic Blows Smoke

Zig creator Andrew Kelley responded to Anthropic’s Bun migration from Zig to Rust, a move tied to Anthropic’s AI narrative and marketing. Bun began as a Zig-based TypeScript runtime and was acquired by Anthropic; the rewrite to Rust followed concerns about memory bugs. The piece contrasts explanations from Anthropic, Bun’s leadership, and observers, noting marketing influence on technical decisions.
