   @lina Devils advocate: zig is much more fun to write in than Rust (is there a fuglier lang than Rust idk), there are guardrails, comptime is its own superpower - bun is gaining traction depends heavily on metaprogramming, memory? sure no lifetimes but you have control if you need it. zig always defers to more explicit - maybe the 'no surprises' policy is good? And development time does matter. And who is going to be maintaining that rust in five years time? Any actual zig devs back me up here?

     @nf3xn Bun is written in Zig? That's interesting, thanks for bringing that up!

     It seems to also need Go and Rust to build, as well as Ruby and Perl. Does it have dependencies that are written in Go and Rust and use Ruby and Perl in their build process?
