“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
