Bun runtime rewritten in Rust using 64 AI agents in 11 days

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Jarred Sumner's team successfully rewrote the core Zig codebase of the Bun JavaScript runtime to Rust in just 11 days. This ambitious migration, which involved 64 parallel AI agents and processed 78 billion tokens, cost approximately $165,000. The rewritten runtime has been production-ready, passing all tests and CI checks, a feat that typically takes much longer and significant resources for most development teams. Bun is a critical tool used by millions, powering other applications like Claude Code and hosting platforms such as Vercel. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the potential for AI agents to accelerate complex software development tasks, potentially reducing costs and timelines for large-scale code migrations.
