Whenever I read a blog post assuring me that something is not how it looks, it turns out to be exactly how it looks at the end.
BTW, I don't use deno and haven't been following any news whatsoever so this is simply a shitty statement from an outsider. It is interesting that I tested deno a couple of times but kept using node until bun came around and I basically switched to bun. I can't say why exactly.
- fluidcruft 1y agoI agree also as an outsider. These sorts of "meta" discussions always smell of spin aimed at investors and usually are not good news for customers. Customers generally care about things like product and long term reliability and stability. These meta things always have the tone of Monty Python's "Bring out your dead!" segment.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoBun has high node compatibility with lightning fast testing and a good/fast built in package manger. I'd use bun for local dev even I was deploying with node.
- bredren 1y agoWhy not esbuild? It was ~fast enough first and free of capital entanglements.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoBun is still faster, and Bun's testing is insanely fast -- I had a test suite that would take 30 seconds with Jest that finished in 800ms with bun. Plus Bun's networking performance is insane compared to Node, and you can have a lot more concurrent clients in a light vpc (think 1gb).
- bredren 1y agoI think you're saying the integration of fast testing and building is what moves the needle for you? Because esbuild is limited to the build portion. I haven't explored fast testing alternatives to pair with esbuild.
- pjmlp 1y agoAnd Go is much safer as implementation language.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoGo is safer for networking heavy/performance critical services, but for anything that's IO/upstream limited the performance of Bun and Go will be comparable and there are more people who are node proficient/it lets people work across the stack with the same tooling.
- pjmlp 1y agoWhat has that to do with Zig?
