I know some projects out there, like windmill.dev, have smarter people than me building things and they consider Bun the successor of Node. They offer support for Deno, but focus more on Bun support because of compatibility. This makes sense for two reasons, I think. One, the future seems brighter due to compatibility. Two, infrastructure work on Node compatibility transfers far more easily to Bun, but not to deno.
It’s early still but my sense is that Bun will gradually gain ground as a Node replacement, but Deno will gain ground as something else. I think that’s actually the original intent behind both projects, too. Bun wants to be a better Node, Deno wanted to diverge in order to avoid what the author considers fundamental mistakes in Node’s design.
