How is the Bun Rewrite in Rust going? | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion said Bun’s Rust rewrite may look slow, but the team may be prioritizing stabilization over visible feature work.

Commenters noted that commit count and release cadence can be a poor proxy for progress during a major rewrite.

The focus appears to be on unsafe code cleanup, backlog work, and overall safety rather than user-facing changes.

The discussion highlights how rewrite phases can temporarily reduce outward activity while engineering teams harden the codebase.
