This talk is derived from the blog post but more focused on the claude parts than the bun parts
Tokyo this week
@jarredsumner still waiting for the damn blog post btw
@jarredsumner why don't you rewrite rust in bun?
@jarredsumner Now we're getting a TEASER for the blog?
Most hyped blog post of 2026
@jarredsumner Can I join in person?
@jarredsumner are you dropping an NFT or a shitcoin with the post or something?
@joaomendoncaaaa lol never
@jarredsumner more anticipated than gta6 at this point
@jarredsumner Someone should start a Polymarket for when this blog is coming out lol
@jarredsumner will this be available to watch online?
@jarredsumner My intuition is that this change would make compile times a nightmare.
I moved a much smaller project from Rust to Zig because of excessive compile time that was impacting velocity.
But, I suspect this might be a skill issue on my part.
@cnakazawa @jarredsumner I am also kind of wondering this?
@jarredsumner blogpost when ?
@jarredsumner Are you gonna go up there and just say the blog post is almost done? 🤣🤣
@jarredsumner We need the blog post!!!
@jarredsumner rewriting bun in rust is a bold bet. really curious how the compile times end up
@jarredsumner oke but what blogpost?
@jarredsumner @__sosukesuzuki Also if you can share a detailed prompt for this we can also try migrating our code and test the functionality with different languages
@jarredsumner I am hoping that it will be recorded.
