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.

I’m with you on that. I’ve built dozens and dozens of node apps both professionally and for personal projects and yeah maybe the package installs could be faster, but the overall performance of the server has also been pretty good. If node is slow for you, maybe there’s some other optimizations to be made rather than switching the next new things as a solution.
