Guys, does anyone know why the decision to port Bun from Zig to Rust? Is it to move to a less niche language?

I don't know definitively, but the Zig project has been vocally anti-LLM code; Bun was bought by an LLM company.

The bun team communicated about it, it’s to reduce the number of memory issues they have to deal with IIRC

Correct.

I wonder if the actual reason is that Zig declined their slop PR.
