Impressive and a bit scary, I mean, your whole app will solely depend on Bun for everything, and for free? (donate if you can)
It feels too good to be true
For a large project, bun seems to have become almost a framework like experience? Once you start using all its features, you get locked in and you do everything "the bun way".
I'm not sure I want all of what normally are external libraries coming out of one place (bun internals), but I do admire the willingness to rewrite the world (and get impressive performance, etc) and own the stack -- they're delivering some differentiated DX/perf/etc.
Also impressed by the strength of their test suite for NodeJS interop.
Deno "feels" like the more grown up NodeJS alternative to me, but maybe that's going to change soon (or already has and my intuition is wrong).
Great humor in the video as well!
Does anyone have opinions/takes on Deno vs Bun informed by usage?
