Not saying it’s 100%, there’s still the repl missing but all of node’s API is available in the sense that it’s ABI compatible (or will be very near term).
If they keep it MIT licensed, if/when things come crashing down, I think its reasonable to think Bun would continue on in some form, even if development slows pace without paid contributors.
I’ve never understood the security utility of the Deno flags. What practical attack would they protect you from? Supply chain seems to be the idea, but how many npm packages do people use that neither:
This will make sure Bun is around for many, many, years to come. Thanks Anthropic.
Why Bun?
Easy to setup and go. bun run <something.ts>
Bells and whistles. (SQL, Router, SPA, JSX, Bundling, Binaries, Streams, Sockets, S3)
Typescript Supported. (No need to tsc, bun can transpile for you)
Binary builds. (single executables for easy deployment)
Full Node.js Support. (The whole API)
Full NPM Support. (All the packages)
Native modules. (90% and getting better thanks to Zig's interop)
S3 File / SQL Builtin. (Blazingly Fast!)
You should try it. Yes, others do these things too, but we're talking about Bun.
