Great watch but to summarize:

  • Bun beats Node/Yarn for package installation

  • Somewhat better API/DX in some ways.

  • Loses poorly in testing performance

  • Tons of incompatibility issues/performance issues in other areas.

General summary: Just don’t use Bun yet, seems like it needs some more time in the oven.

      Bun is blazingly faster than node*

      *As a package manager

      Pretty much. Their benchmarks seem to be VERY cherry picked to skew things in their favour, specially the testing framework part, where bun compares its speed to one of the slowest testing frameworks out there (jest) and claim victory.

      I’m very glad that this guy actually made benchmarks instead of just reading what’s on bun’s site before posting a video about it.

      Not at every turn though. Also it runs on Webkit instead of Googles V8 :)
