Bun, competition?
Zig is yet to be 1.0, and who knows what anthropic will make out of it.
They can even pivot yet again back into node, as most acquisitions go.
- nine_k 8mo agoIn the mindshare, certainly. Bun to Deno is what Zig i to Rust: a much simpler, much easier way to overcome its common predecessor's shortcomings. Not nearly as thoroughly and revolutionarily, but still.
- pjmlp 8mo agoWhat matters is business users.
- pier25 8mo agoYou know any services as big as X or Claude Code built with Deno? AFAIK the biggest users of Deno are using their subhosting service (Netlify, Slack, etc) to allow third parties to execute TS code.
- pjmlp 8mo agoNo, nor do I care, node is all that matters, long term. Eventually like it usually happens, it will get the most relevant features and that is about it.
- pier25 8mo agoIn the State of JS from last year Bun had a 21% market share. https://2025.stateofjs.com/en-US/other-tools/#runtimes https://2025.stateofjs.com/en-US/other-tools/#runtimes Double from Deno even though it released years earlier. I'm sure Node will remain the top runtime for years to come... but not paying attention to what Bun is doing is like burying your head in the sand.
