Expert Opinions
Some experts believe Bun’s acquisition will not negatively impact its development. As one user stated:
I disagree with the overall premise: Before the acquisition, Bun had to figure out how to monetize at some point. Now, even though their parent company does some shitty practices with their other software (claude code), it’s a stretch to assume this will also translate into making Bun worse.
However, others have experienced issues with Bun’s reliability:
Bun has never really been well run. Every feature it had was full of bugs and gaps. And every release fixed a few but broke others.
Future Developments
A member of the Bun team shared upcoming features and improvements:
Our development pace has only gotten faster. Bun’s stability has improved significantly since joining Anthropic.
