I wonder why they didn't go all the way to include a LSP for TypeScript, if it's already faster than typescript-go. Hoping the JS threads PR lands eventually: https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/tree/sosuke/threads/

In Bun 1.4.3

In Project Valhalla, Explained: How a Decade of Work Arrives in JDK 28

With the amount of changes they've made to WebKit, I honestly don't think we can claim it's just JSC.. https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/commits/main/

In Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc

Jarred·May 4, 2026

I work on Bun, and this post is confusing to me. Me personally and the Bun team continues to dogfood & make Bun better everyday. Our development pace has only gotten faster. Bun's stability has improved significantly since joining Anthropic. Here are some things shipping in the next version of Bun: - 17 MB smaller Windows x64 binaries [0] - 8 MB smaller Linux binaries [1] - `--no-orphans` CLI flag to recursively kill any lingering processes spawned [3] - SSL context caching for client TCP & unix sockets, which significantly reduces memory usage for database clients like Mongoose/MongoDB [4] - Experimental HTTP/3 & HTTP/2 client in fetch [5] - Experimental HTTP/3 support in Bun.serve() [6] - Bun.Image, a builtin image processing library [7] (Along with several reliability improvements to node:fs, Worker, BroadcastChannel, and MessagePort)

Read the rest

The Anthropic acquisition also means Bun no longer needs to become a revenue-generating business. We are very incentivized to make Bun better because Claude Code depends on it, and so many software engineers depend on Claude Code to help get their work done.

I feel like https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/commit/35315978baee84ed1bd... is the more interesting commit tbh

In Bun: cgroup-aware AvailableParallelism / HardwareConcurrency on Linux

You will need the version of Zig used by Bun. It’s a few months old, just before LLVM 13 -> 14 migration https://github.com/oven-sh/zig It can be built, but you will also need to compile JSC from bun’s WebKit repo https://GitHub.com/oven-sh/WebKit

In Bun v0.2.0
