I Tried Bun

Some thoughts from trying the new bun runtime:

  • Dev experience is not that great in VSCode, deno is much better
  • I know how to easily deploy deno with AWS Lightsail, not too sure with bun
  • TypeScript seems like it's more reliable using deno vs bun, passing props to JSX components sometimes doesn't show type errors properly with bun
  • deno lacks great packages but it has what I need in terms of making a server rendered web app, you can also use any node packages now anyway
  • I worry a bit about deno eventually being abandoned but the same applies to bun
