Excellent episode ❤️ Especially around 29 mins in share.transistor.fm/s/9e2302c6#t... Maybe after I ship Dash and finally emerge from my extended heads-down mode (it’s been 84 years) I should come on and explain the full vision

I've spent the last few weeks on rounds of testing. This is a big launch, so when you're ready please give 2.0 a try and report any bugs or issues and I'll resolve them as fast as I can. My #1 goal is to stabilize 2.0, but I need your help. github.com/blackboardsh...

Electrobun 2.0 is here. Too many new things to fit in a tweet so I wrote a blog post called "Cottontail, Electrobun 2.0, and Why I Decided to Jian-Yang Anthropic" Read it: blackboard.sh/blog/electro...

Electrobun 2.0 and Dash deserve their own announcement posts separate from my thoughts on the state of open source.

My Electrobun 2.0 blog post is already 3400+ words and it's just the intro that covers my thoughts on AI in open source and how the Bun/Zig (Jarred/Andrew) drama affects the future of Electrobun. For those that like long thoughtful reads.

People keep asking me about Cottontail a new JS runtime that'll be available in Electrobun 2.0 alongside Rust, Zig, and Go. Here's a screenshot of how it started vs. how it's going:
270
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 10/07/2026
Jarred makes a convincing case that they have been doing reasonable human code review of rust bun port and will only ship 1.4 when they are actually confident in it. Andrew’s post shed light on things that raise different broader concerns about bun. My Electrobun 2.0 post will clarify direction.

YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 27/06/2026
I just wrapped up a 3 month embedded product research engagement for Dash (next generation IDE built with Electrobun), once I get the Dash Alpha out, Electrobun 2.0 gets all my focus (new zig core is pretty solid already), then Cottontail (new tiny js runtime, modular, zig accelerated, big std lib).

Answered this on twitter a few weeks ago when the Deno team showed me what they were working on. I'm glad I'm inspiring people. Electrobun 2.0 brings the same modular innovation I shipped for the renderer (system, CEF, WGPU) to the main process enabling Deno, Bun, Node, Zig, Rust, and Go.

YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 26/05/2026
Not only are you selectively quoting him, but the screenshot in your tweet backs up my representation of what he said exactly. Their model can’t stop shipping segfaults and memory leaks. And they want us to believe it can ship a +1M rust, -700k zig PR with no human looking. It’s absurd.

Also for what it’s worth their literal stated reason for porting to rust was explicitly that they couldn’t keep up with the segfaults that their model was shipping.
120
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 25/05/2026
Annectodal from working with bun myself and all the tweets from other people building on bun that have reported the same thing to Jarred. He always replies that relative to total downloads they’re decreasing. Which is a misleading stat when lots of people building complex things report an increase.
130
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 25/05/2026
They vibe coded zig with the best anthropic models, segfaults have drastically increased since acquisition. They used the same model to rewrite it in rust claiming the model couldn’t stop shipping zig segfaults. I tell claude to copy a function in same lang and it hallucinates Make it make sense.
230
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 25/05/2026
Anthropic is saying look we used tons of tokens to rewrite this thing in another language, and then used tons more to adversarial code review. All our customers should tokenmax too! Meanwhile they say that their model couldn’t fix zig segfaults but could rewrite the whole thing in another language?
010
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 25/05/2026
In an instant. If they say that humans will review the code, or if anthropic releases some new non-LLM based technology that does not have the traits that absolutely require human code review of LLM generated code, then I’ll support bun as an optional runtime for the main process.
030
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 25/05/2026
Ultimately if they ship rust bun without humans code reviewing the whole thing & maintain their policy of vibe coding bun. Then I don’t feel secure running it on my machine or my servers and quality will degrade like claude code. They gave me 6 months free max I can’t use because cc is so unstable
020
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 25/05/2026
It’s also not too late for them to come to their senses. I had a back and forth with Jarred a couple days ago on twitter explaining my position and he still does not want humans reading all the code. He also has been unable to write a blog post justifying this recklessness. So might change his mind

I just want them to read the code. I could care less that they use AI. I use lots of tools including agents all the time. But I’m not gonna cut a release and ship a million lines of slop no one has read to end user’s machines. Anthropic making bun a marketing gimmick for tokenmaxxing is a tragedy

12k stars. New apps sent to me every day, 50 in the readme that people have built Electrobun 2.0 in active development. Use bun, node, deno, zig, rust, or go for the main process. Active talks with aligned acquihirer and open source VC to ensure long life. About to release Dash alpha & cottontail

YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 15/05/2026
I believe it’s stdio from the process you spawn powered by zig underneath, but I’m also not sure if another process on your system with the right privileges couldn’t just sit in and listen. But it doesn’t matter either way cause rustbun is now just a slop fork of itself and completely unsafe to use
020
YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 13/05/2026
For spawn i don’t think I’m doing anything in addition to Bun Spawn which probably uses zig under the hood. Maybe you’re referring to something else?

YoavCodes @yoav.codes · 13/05/2026
IPC between a webview and bun is primarily via postMessage in one direction and injecting js in the other. There’s a higher perf path using websockets where bun exposes a websocket and webview preload script connects. Both mechanisms are encrypted with per webview keys.

I post a lot more updates on twitter since that’s where the core and bulk of tech twitter has shifted in the last few months. Hoping to get something more central and formal but the architecture lift for bunny ears has been significant.

No log yet. Working on it. Not much changed. I’ve been focused primarily on bunny ears which is now (as of yesterday) being dog fooded and should enable me to ramp up electrobun development to deliver more changes in shorter timeframes.

A month ago I shipped Electrobun v1. A week ago I shipped a deep WGPU integration. A day ago I added 35 desktop apps people are already shipping built with Electrobun to the Readme. An hour ago Electrobun passed 10,000 Github stars.
