As expected [0] [1], this was a clear advertisement / marketing opportunity of Anthropic's Fable model on rewriting Bun (which powers Claude Code) from Zig into Rust.

Something that would have taken hundreds of developers now took 1 developer with Fable.

Now Claude, rewrite Claude Code from TypeScript to Rust. Make absolutely zero mistakes.
