From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seeing what bun did, maybe all of that C tooling is just a weekend with Claude away from being ported.
Not saying that is a good thing, I don't support that, but what is stopping stupid people from doing that.
I just started a hobby project with Bun, it's my first time trying it. I would like to know what you are referring to when you say "what Bun did". Can you share more information?
He's talking about Bun being completely rewritten from Zig to Rust by Claude after the project was acquired by Anthropic
Thanks, I didn't know any of this.
This can't be legally done with a GNU project, since this is a direct derivation. I also don't know if bun is ok now and if it used to be before.
i regret to inform you
