No, they're clearly acquiring the technology. They're betting Claude Code on Bun, they have an invested interest in the health of Bun.

Why would they want to bet on nascent technology whereas Node.js bas existed for a god 15 years?

Because they needed something that could produce a single binary that works on every platform. They started shipping Claude Code with Bun back in July: https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/1943492457506697482

Because Microsoft already owns that.

it starts fast and does better job than nodejs for their product

That was my thinking is, this would be useful for Claude Code.
