curious: given the pace of bun development, lack of LTS/support on older point releases etc, how does it qualify this compliance check assuming I believe you're alluding to fewer deps as the reason for "less burden"?

ah, i misunderstood. that seemed way too low in terms of actual tokens lol. i'll log off now. interesting details and didn't know about WebkitWasm. hope to read more soon.

edit: I misunderstood, that's $25k not 25k tokens :/ time to log off.

this is so rad! 25k tokens is a lot less than i thought this'd take -- what were the difficult bits in the porting process? also, was firefox preferred because parts of it are already in rust?

They (WP and Lumia) would've been a strong 3rd player if the right investments and care were given since MS acquisition but alas, I think I should've noticed the writing on the wall for all of MS' consumer business (Xbox, being the latest!) from the moment Satya stepped in and Nokia got cut off.

Satya was great for businesses and MS' investors, terrible for consumers.

> Ported tree-sitter, color-diff, yoga-layout, and a number of other WASM and Rust native modules to TypeScript, improving CPU and memory use by 2-10x in the process

Curious to learn more on this (unless there’s a write-up in the works). I’m naive on this matter but:

1. is this because it’s higher cost when passing objects back and forth across the JS/native boundary? 2. Does this have anything more specific to do with use of Bun? 3. is the stance for claude code then to keep all the deps in raw TypeScript? 4. How do you folks keep these ported deps up-to-date?

A specific number.

I had to fight through school and university in India with my teachers who believed these were legit questions to ask in written exams. Can't 100% blame them since almost all standard-issue textbooks had them and claimed they'd give predictable output. I thought the same until I noticed the weirdness when running them across different compilers and after I read about UB, sequence points and similar quirks in books that are not total garbage.

Luckily, I ended up with smug smiles in all those cases after showing them the output from different compilers.
