Couldn't think of a project that was more doomed to fail than a competing alternative to Node.js, but glad that I gave it a shot when I needed to create lots of stand-alone scripts to process text files and SQLite DB updates which I was able to create with TypeScript, bun:sqlite [1] and bun $ Shell [2] working OOB without needing to manage any configuration files or local npm dependencies.
I've since tried it with new JS/TypeScript Projects which also makes use of its built-in Bundler [3] and testing support [4], installing deps is also instant. Having everything work OOB, fast, are real quality of life improvements where Bun has now become my first choice for any new JS project.

- boodleboodle 2y agoSame for me. I was in the “whats the point npm will have all these next year” camp. Finally tried bun and was blown away. Subtle things in DX add up. For my project Bun is so “next generation”.
