Bun ported to Rust in 6 days
Key takeaways
- Published: May 9, 202672671.7k99.8% of bun’s pre-existing test suite passes on Linux x64 glibc in the rust rewrite
- it’s basically the same codebase except now we can have the compiler enforce the lifetimes of types and we get destructors when we want them. and the ugly parts look uglier (unsafe) which encourages refactoring.
- why: I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.
