Anthropic announced the acquisition of Bun on Tuesday, a JavaScript runtime praised for outperforming Node.js with over 7 million monthly downloads and use by companies like Netflix and Spotify. Bun already powers Claude Code, which reached $1 billion in annual revenue just six months after launch, and the deal brings the full Bun team onboard to enhance AI coding tools while keeping it open source. Jarred Sumner highlighted the move's focus on sustainability, avoiding VC pressures, as DHH called it a smart act of support for open-source excellence.
