>I kinda feel like Bun missed its moment already. While I'm not particularly into or even all that interested in Bun, this pop culture attitude in general always mystifies me. What's the purpose of adopting this attitude (or is it involuntary)? Even if Vite were to do exactly what Bun does, they could both still exist and the world would just move along as it did before. Something being popular or not doesn't matter if it solves something. I imagine people who have this attitude turn into people who never actually try out anything for fear of using something that less than 5% of developers use. Most actually good things I know are used by far less than even that and they solve real problems for me. P.S. I would argue popularity hasn't helped JavaScript one bit: it's barely improving at all and most of the ecosystem is still a massive pain to use, most of the libraries are awful, performance is still lacking and basics like threading are still not solved. The popularity only helps with getting people into the churn and that's a dubious goal at best. Most of these points apply to Python as well.
