How is the Bun Rewrite in Rust Going?

Why we picked it · the editor's summary

Lockwood reads the claim against the repository itself: release tags, commit authorship, and the open pull requests from the bot account that files the Claude-generated changes. The last tagged release predates the rewrite's merge, and the bot's queue grew from 1,277 open PRs on 9 July to 2,475 by 27 July, at roughly forty minutes of CI per merge. His own accounting adds the usage spike when the rewrite began, the CI bill, and the engineers visible on the commits, and lands well above the headline figure, though he presents the total as an estimate, not a disclosure. The test he proposes for any "rewritten in days" story is the one he ran: open the repository and count what is still unmerged.
