Anthropic acquired Bun, the high-performance JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and toolkit. Created by Jared Sumner to address slow build times in the JS ecosystem, Bun has grown to 7+ million monthly downloads and 83,000+ GitHub stars. The acquisition positions Bun as infrastructure for Anthropic's AI products like Claude Code, which already uses Bun for its CLI. The team promises Bun will remain open source and MIT licensed, though concerns exist about Anthropic's open source track record.
