Damn, I should have not migrated to Bun. Should I revert back to Npm?
- cromka 3mo agoI am getting into the frontend dev and one thing that I don't understand is why people use bun in the first place? It's not much better preforming, it's not much safer, it's still not 100% compliant. Some tests show it's actually slower than node. Why bother switching, then?
- johnny22 3mo agoi assume it's because of all the built in tooling that node doesn't ship with.
- awestroke 3mo agoFaster package manager Faster startup Typescript support out of the box Better stdlib than node Stdlib includes yaml, sqlite etc so you need to pull in fewer deps, so you can avoid the left-pad/is-even node_modules explosion problem to a greater extent
- fg137 3mo agoCan't comment on others, but new Node.js also has typescript out of the box and works pretty well.
- vips7L 3mo agoI don’t think you would use Bun for front end.
- frollogaston 3mo agoThat's what Claude Code does at least
- cromka 3mo agoI mean, Astro on Bun?
- vips7L 3mo agoSounds like server imo.
- frollogaston 3mo agoSo much of JS dev is just saying no to random new stuff, Bun included
- vaughnegut 3mo agoThere's always deno
- jqbd 3mo agobut it's written in Rust too /s
- orf 3mo agoWhat specific technical issues are you experiencing with running Bun that would justify a change?
