What commenters say

• The acquisition of Bun by Anthropic may lead to a decline in its quality due to Anthropic's questionable handling of its other products.
• The fact that Bun is open-source mitigates the risk of it being negatively impacted by Anthropic's policies.
• Anthropic's focus on monetization may compromise the quality and development of Bun.
• The decline of Claude Code's quality is not necessarily a reflection of Bun's potential future, as they are separate products with different goals.
• The use of Bun is still recommended for existing projects, but pnpm may be a better choice for new projects.
• The sustainability of open-source projects like Bun depends on factors beyond just monetization, including community support and maintenance.
• Some commenters have not experienced the same decline in quality with Claude Code as the author, and believe that Bun will continue to be well-maintained.
• The acquisition of Bun by Anthropic may actually provide it with more resources and stability, rather than compromising its quality.
