Both Deno and Bun are adopting APIs that are close to existing web standards, so Node is becoming the odd one out.

- montroser 4y agoThere are _lots_ and _lots_ of JavaScript runtimes out there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ECMAScript_engines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ECMAScript_engines
- ricardobeat 4y agoI'm very familiar with the space. The majority of these have never reached production status or any meaningful usage, the few active ones are very niche products - Duktape, Espruino, Quickjs, etc, you'll be hard pressed to find someone running a web server, gui or cli app on them. Hermes might show up in the engine radar due to how prevalent RN is, but other than that, you can bet 99% of projects run Node.js or Deno now. As long as these are actual standards, all the other runtimes also get a fair shot at implementing them. I think it's a move in the right direction.
