Meanwhile, Bun’s relationship with the Zig community has soured. Zig Software Foundation maintains a strict “no AI code” policy and previously rejected Bun’s attempts to upstream performance improvements as “technically unsound.” WinBuzzer reported on May 1 that “Anthropic-owned Bun is already paying the cost” of Zig’s LLM ban. The friction is accelerating the Rust exploration.

Zig was a deliberate choice in 2022. Its comptime evaluation and zero-runtime design minimized overhead when calling JavaScriptCore’s C++ interfaces. But Zig’s ecosystem remains narrow: no central package registry comparable to crates.io, a small hiring pool, and slow open-source contributor growth.

Rust is now the practical standard for systems programming. AWS Firecracker, Cloudflare’s Workers runtime (workerd), and Linux kernel drivers are built in Rust. The White House ONCD and NSA have formally recommended Rust for memory safety. As of 2026, choosing Rust means choosing a contributor pool orders of magnitude larger than Zig’s.

Bun’s Rust move is about ecosystem integration, not raw performance gains. More contributors, better security tooling, and more hireable engineers.

ArduPilot provides a comprehensive suite of tools suitable for almost any vehicle and application. As an open source project, it is constantly evolving based on rapid feedback from a large community of users. The Development Team works with the community and commercial partners to add functionality to ArduPilot that benefits everyone. Although ArduPilot does not manufacture any hardware, ArduPilot firmware works on a wide variety of different hardware to control unmanned vehicles of all types. Coupled with ground control software, unmanned vehicles running ArduPilot can have advanced functionality including real-time communication with operators.

Installed in over 1,000,000 vehicles world-wide, and with advanced data-logging, analysis and simulation tools, ArduPilot is a deeply tested and trusted autopilot system.

The software suite is installed in vehicles from many manufacturers

The highest accuracy web search for your AI

Why use Parallel Search vs. the default search in Claude?

Parallel runs its own web-scale index (billions of pages, millions added daily) and returns dense, query-relevant excerpts instead of raw HTML or SEO-ranked snippets. On public benchmarks, Parallel outperforms the default search in leading frontier models. Your agent reaches the right answer in fewer round trips and with less wasted context. – https://parallel.ai/blog/free-web-search-mcp
