What are you talking about? I'm running 1.4 canary (the Rust rewrite) right now.
λ bun --version
1.4.0

I think GP was pointing out how bun's release cadence stalled and the project is going nowhere at the moment.

The project was pretty healthy up to 1.13.14, but since may they stopped shipping anything.
That's quite odd for a project that just went through a major rewrite and is lauded as being developed primarily by LLM coding assistants.
Personally I expected the release cadence was going to go through the roof, but instead it flat lined.
That's not credible at all. I mean, after a major release there are tons of low-priority low-hanging fruit issues that can be quickly sorted out. That's the nature of a release process.
However, Bun stopped releasing anything. Even after lauding it's AI push,which can easily chomp through small tickets.
It's been a couple of months since the major push. I repeat: the release cadence of a mature, stable codebase as the Zig one was at 2-3 weeks. A messy rust rewrite packed with unsafe code, which is prime ground for small bugfixes and correctness fixes, led the project to grind to a halt.
No one looks good in the picture.
There's clearly something wrong in their confidence about Rust Bun: If it isn't ready they should have said "whenever it's done", and if it is they'd have met some deadline by now. I suspect the speed was supposed to be part of the stunt, yet they seem to have encountered the 90:90 rule.
