Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
