I jumped on bun before they hit 1.0 and it’s been life changing. Have actually gone down the rabbit hole since then and also got turned on to zig and am building two large open source projects with bun at the center and it’s been delightful.
Business model criticisms aside which are quite similar between deno and bun, and hopefully bun continues to learn from deno’s mistakes and not maintain two different runtimes and wraps the bun runtime in more open protections. I’ve noticed that projects based on rust (tauri, deno, etc.) tend to be less approachable than projects based on imperative zig or go or c.
Bun’s ethos of building fast things that are also fast to develop mirror’s zig’s ethos. Deno’s ethos of how they handle security and other smaller decisions reflect that of rust.

I rejected Bun because I'm concerned about the stability and matureness. I don't care about runtime performance, but DX. I find Deno has such a nicer API than Node. I guess Bun is similar. I find tooling much simpler as well (Deno). How is your experience with Bun so far regarding stability? I've heard there're issues as they've been rushing / hustling along for years?
