Some *real* benchmarks on Bun (compared with Node) -- It only wins *sometimes*, but it's mostly a fail - eviltoast

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.

    because speed = your page loading fast = more clients = more satisfied clients = less environmental impact = less build time = less time downloading and lock-ing modules = more time for you … the list goes on.

    I dont understand why is it so hard to understand that … guys … speed … does … matter? Our time matters? Our anything matters? And if you dont care, I do.
