Summary
An analysis of Bun's unreleased Rust port reveals 13,365 unsafe blocks, with most being removable. The article compares unsafe code density across Rust runtimes (Bun, Deno, etc.), measuring how close code sits to C boundaries. Bun keeps bindings and runtime in one workspace, while Deno splits them and uses TypeScript for much of its runtime.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledBun's unreleased Rust port has 13,365 unsafe blocks. Most can be removed.
Density tracks how close the code sits to a C boundary: a crate that only binds a C++ engine is densest, a runtime that writes its own engine in Rust is sparsest.
Bun keeps its bindings and runtime in one workspace; Deno splits the binding into rusty_v8 and writes much of its runtime in TypeScript.
