Why did they buy an open source project anyway? If is not “officially” supported why not fork and use? Claude code is probably the most used anyway

They bought the maintainers, not the code.

Why though? Isn't AI supposed to take care of such things?

Because even when the AI is really good at writing code, you still have to know what to ask it, how to direct it, have product taste, etc.

Otherwise all of us would just be able to build bun via a prompt.

To me it just looks like a marketing stunt.
