No strategic roadmap is ever going to tell you: "Build a $0-revenue JavaScript runtime and one day an AI company will acquire you"

Ha, Physics majors get the same talk about law school. It's just the selection bias of selecting for people willing to make hard pivots filtering out the under-achieving, go-with-the-flow types.
Lots of strategists will tell you something like: "Build something that's useful and then there will be money".
That's 100% what happened to Bun. It's useful (like really useful) and now they're getting rewarded
i really think this is part of the pitch deck for bun's funding. that a bigger company would acquire it for the technology. the only reason an AI company or any company for that matter would acquire it would be to:
1. acquire talent.
2. control the future roadmap of bun.
i think it's really 1.
Well, that was the playbook in the 1999-2001 dotcom days.
Which is probably why no one's going to recommend it these days
...but hey, things are different during a bubble.
It reminds me of hearing that music majors often do well in medical school. Want to go to medical school? Just major in music, duh.
