Any stats/source? Not that I think it's false

Looks like Bun owes that to itself to some extent, not solely because of the language

[dminik]

Not that it's a particularly accurate stat, but:

https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3...

119 open, 885 closed

https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state...

10 open, 46 closed

[dmd]

You want a better source than the actual author of Bun?

[nesarkvechnep]

Authors can't exaggerate? Maybe some actual numbers can convince people.

[nicce]

Here: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20%22Segm...

Around 2500 issues with segmentation fault.

[shpx]

As compared with 41 for deno

https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20%22Se...

With the total number of issues being 16,458 for bun and 14,259 for deno.

The cool thing is the author doesn't actually have to convince anyone

[enricozb]

I believe the author is the creator of Bun.

[brazukadev]

Is he working for Anthropic now?

[danaw]

anthropic bought bun recently

[brazukadev]

That's exactly my point. The fact they created Bun does not mean they will do what's better for Bun and the people using it.

FTA:

> why: I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.

Not a hard number obviously but a clear indication those issues exist.

I don’t understand: just use an agent to find all memory leaks and segfaults. I don’t get the argument if you are gonna vibe code anyway.

With unlimited tokens make it a lint rule or auto formatter.

[duggan]

LLMs are a force multiplier, not magic. They benefit from good tooling.

[qudat]

Literally the model “mythos” is being marketed towards finding these exact type of bugs used for exploitation. I really don’t understand the argument: are agents not good at findings memory management issues? What’s the gap?

[Ygg2]

If you look at percent of segfault errors in each repo, Bun had a much larger percent. Although don't quote on me.
