Bun has always been divisive because of its approach, and its acquisition by Anthropic and subsequent AI-driven port to Rust haven’t helped (especially given the way some people these days react to both the company and the “process” that led to it).
But amidst the insanity the JavaScript ecosystem has always been, its batteries-included approach (which also has its detractors) and overall performance–RAM use aside–have been pretty amazing and very, very useful to me recently. Yes, it’s starting to show signs of bloat and perhaps even “overfitting” to AI development and automation (case in point: it now includes direct support for webviews and thus “agentic browsing”), but I’m going to keep using it until something saner comes along.
