Bun creator Jarred Sumner shared the startup's July 2022 seed round pitch deck, revealing its core technical bets: JavaScriptCore instead of V8, Zig instead of C++/Rust, plus newer technologies like SIMD, data-oriented design, copy-on-write cloning and iouring — all in service of replacing dozens of tools with one. The post sparked quips about whether "rust-instead-of-zig" might have been the better call.
